Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Korçë

Several factors influence mosquito populations around Korçë. The city's proximity to the Morava River and surrounding wetlands provides ideal breeding grounds. Additionally, the moderate rainfall in spring and summer creates stagnant water pools perfect for mosquito larvae. Temperature plays a crucial role; mosquitoes thrive when temperatures range between 20-30°C. Here's what impacts mosquito activity the most:

Standing water sources such as irrigation channels
Warm temperatures during summer months
Vegetation around urban parks like Rinia Park

Understanding these factors helps locals and travelers anticipate mosquito presence and take preventive measures.
