What Influences Mosquito Activity in Trelew?

Several factors impact mosquito populations in Trelew. The region’s semi-arid climate, proximity to the Chubut River, and occasional rainfall create breeding grounds. Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, so even small pools after rain can increase their numbers. Additionally, the mild summers and cold winters affect their lifecycle. Here's what influences mosquito activity here:

Temperature fluctuations
Availability of stagnant water
Local vegetation near the Valdes Peninsula

Interestingly, the Patagonian winds often help disperse mosquitoes, reducing their concentration in urban areas. Staying aware of these factors can help residents and visitors minimize exposure.
