Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Torrance

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Torrance. Warm temperatures and standing water, such as puddles or poorly drained areas, create ideal breeding grounds. Torrance's mild climate means mosquitoes can be active much of the year, especially during the warmer months. Additionally, the city's proximity to wetlands like the Madrona Marsh means natural habitats support mosquito life cycles. Here's what impacts mosquito activity locally:

Seasonal temperature changes
Rainfall patterns and water accumulation
Urban landscaping and water features

Understanding these factors helps residents and visitors anticipate mosquito presence and take preventive measures. Learn more about how weather affects mosquitoes at the National Weather Service.
