Darbhanga Mosquito Forecast Overview

The Darbhanga mosquito forecast reveals heightened mosquito activity during the monsoon months, particularly from June to August, with peak levels reaching up to 10 on a 1-10 scale. This seasonal surge is influenced by the region's humid subtropical climate and the presence of water bodies like the Kamala River, which provide ideal breeding grounds. Travelers and locals should note that mosquito presence is relatively low in winter months, dropping to around 2 in January and December. For a detailed month-by-month forecast, visit the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme. Understanding this pattern can help residents and visitors plan outdoor activities around Darbhanga's famous historical sites, such as the Darbhanga Fort, with better mosquito protection.

Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Darbhanga

Several environmental and human factors influence mosquito populations in Darbhanga. The primary drivers include:

Monsoon rains creating stagnant water pools
Warm temperatures accelerating mosquito breeding
Urbanization leading to water storage practices

Additionally, agricultural practices in the Mithila region, where Darbhanga is located, often involve irrigation methods that inadvertently support mosquito habitats. Seasonal variations in humidity and temperature also play a role, with higher humidity levels favoring mosquito longevity. Understanding these factors helps explain why mosquito activity spikes during specific months and why residents should remain vigilant.
