Mosquito Intensity

What Influences Mosquito Activity?

Mosquito populations in Campos do Jordão are influenced by a mix of climate and geography. The town's elevation, at about 1,628 meters, means cooler temperatures compared to much of Brazil, which generally lowers mosquito activity. However, the rainy season from October to March creates standing water, perfect for breeding. Key factors include:

Temperature fluctuations
Rainfall and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water

This combination means mosquitoes thrive most during warmer, wetter months. Visitors should note that the local Atlantic Forest biome provides ample shaded, humid environments, ideal for mosquito habitation. For more on local climate impact, visit Climatempo.
