Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Dublin's Climate

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Dublin. The city's temperate maritime climate, with mild summers and abundant rainfall, creates ideal breeding conditions. Stagnant water in canals along the Grand Canal Dock and lush greenery in the Dublin Mountains offer perfect habitats. Here's what affects their presence:

Temperature: Warmer months speed up mosquito development.
Rainfall: Provides breeding sites like puddles and ponds.

Understanding these helps locals and tourists reduce exposure. For more on Dublin's weather patterns, visit Met Éireann.
