Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Maturín

Several factors affect mosquito populations in Maturín. The tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures averaging 26–28°C year-round creates an ideal environment for mosquitoes. Seasonal rainfall, especially during the rainy season from April to July, leads to standing water where mosquitoes breed. Urban areas near the Guarapiche River and rural zones with dense vegetation also contribute to mosquito proliferation. Key influences include:

Rainfall creating breeding sites
Warm temperatures accelerating mosquito life cycles
Vegetation providing shelter

Understanding these factors can help locals and visitors minimize mosquito exposure. For more details, visit the Monagas climate and mosquito activity report.
