What Influences Mosquito Activity in Étretat?

Several factors affect mosquito populations around Étretat Cliffs. The combination of mild coastal temperatures and occasional freshwater pools from rain creates a perfect breeding ground. Key influences include:

Temperature: Warmer months boost mosquito metabolism and breeding.
Humidity: Higher humidity near the sea supports mosquito survival.
Vegetation: The cliffs' surrounding greenery offers shelter.

Unlike inland areas, the sea breeze can reduce mosquito presence directly on the cliffs, but sheltered spots remain vulnerable. Understanding these helps visitors anticipate mosquito encounters. For more on local ecosystems, visit the Normandy Tourism site.
