Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Koprivnica

Several environmental and climatic factors influence mosquito populations in Koprivnica. Key contributors include:

Temperature: Warmer weather accelerates mosquito breeding cycles.
Standing Water: Areas near the Drava River and local ponds provide breeding grounds.
Humidity: Higher humidity levels support mosquito survival.

Additionally, urban green spaces like the City Park create microhabitats favorable for mosquitoes. Seasonal rainfall patterns also play a role; heavy rains can both create new breeding sites and wash away larvae. Understanding these factors can help residents and visitors anticipate peak mosquito periods. For detailed insights, check out the Croatian Environment Agency.
