What Influences Mosquito Activity in Ordino Arcalís?

Several factors influence mosquito populations in this mountainous region. The temperature and humidity levels are crucial; mosquitoes thrive in warm, moist conditions typical of summer in Ordino Arcalís. Additionally, standing water from melting snow and mountain streams provides breeding grounds. The altitude here (around 1,940 meters) generally limits mosquito numbers compared to lower valleys, but localized pockets of water can still foster them. Key influences include:

Seasonal temperature shifts
Water availability from snowmelt
Vegetation density providing shelter
