Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Littlehampton

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Littlehampton. The town's proximity to the River Arun and tidal estuaries creates ideal breeding grounds. Warm temperatures, standing water after rainfall, and humidity levels all contribute to mosquito abundance. Here's what impacts their activity:
  • Seasonal temperature changes
  • Availability of stagnant water
  • Local vegetation and shaded areas
Understanding these helps residents and tourists predict when mosquitoes might be more active. For example, the mild springs and wet summers typical of West Sussex encourage early mosquito emergence. For more insights, check the Sussex Wildlife Trust which highlights local ecological factors.
