Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Castle Gardens

Several local factors influence mosquito populations around Castle Gardens. The island's unique geography, including the lush terrain near the famous Jacob's Ladder, creates microhabitats ideal for mosquitoes. Key influences include:

Rainfall patterns: Increased precipitation leads to more standing water for breeding.
Temperature: Warmer months accelerate mosquito life cycles.
Human activity: Areas with stagnant water from irrigation or containers can become breeding sites.

Understanding these helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito activity peaks. For detailed weather and ecological data, the Saint Helena Meteorological Service is a valuable resource.
