Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Kumbakonam

Several local factors influence mosquito populations in Kumbakonam. The tropical climate combined with frequent rains creates stagnant water pools, perfect for mosquito breeding. Additionally, the town's numerous water bodies, including temple ponds and irrigation canals, add to the habitat. Key influences include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Temperature fluctuations
Availability of standing water

Understanding these helps in predicting mosquito surges. For example, the heavy rains during the South-West monsoon significantly boost mosquito numbers. Residents often find that clearing water from containers and drains near their homes reduces mosquito presence. For detailed environmental data, visit the India Meteorological Department.
