Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Kasama

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Kasama. The region's tropical savanna climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons, creates ideal breeding grounds during rains. Stagnant water in natural pools and man-made containers provides perfect habitats.

Rainfall and humidity levels
Temperature variations
Availability of breeding sites

Understanding these drivers helps locals and travelers anticipate mosquito surges. For instance, the increased humidity during the rainy season boosts mosquito lifespan and biting rates. Learn more about local ecology at Kasama Tourism Board.
