What Influences Mosquito Activity in Falagueira?

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Falagueira. The area's mild Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters, creates ideal breeding conditions. Key elements include:

Warm temperatures that accelerate mosquito lifecycle

Humidity levels that support mosquito survival

Additionally, urban green spaces like the nearby Tapada das Necessidades offer shaded, moist environments favorable for mosquitoes.
