This is an incredibly hot summer in the US. Will that enable Zika to take hold in large swaths of the US?

I tend to think that it will not spread as fast as many think due to the dry spring, and hot temperatures that will evaporate breeding pools of water.
Your best protection is screens on all your windows if staying indoors.
When outdoors during daytime , use repellent such as 30% DEET; there are other natural repellents as well, recommended by Consumers Report.
