Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Malta

Several factors influence mosquito activity around the Hypogeum and greater Malta region. Warm temperatures and high humidity in summer create ideal breeding conditions. Standing water from irrigation or rainfall near the archaeological site can increase mosquito populations. Additionally, the island's Mediterranean climate with mild winters allows some mosquitoes to survive year-round. Here are key influencers:

Temperature and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water
Seasonal rainfall patterns

Understanding these helps visitors anticipate mosquito presence. Learn more about Malta's climate impact on mosquitoes at the Malta Environment and Resources Authority.
