Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Flower Forest

Several factors contribute to the mosquito population fluctuations in Flower Forest. The tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round supports mosquito breeding, but rainfall is the main driver. After heavy rains, stagnant water collects in natural and man-made containers, such as plant saucers and garden ponds. Here are key influences:

Seasonal rainfall peaks
Local vegetation density
Human water storage habits

Additionally, the nearby Scotland District's terrain affects wind patterns, sometimes reducing mosquito dispersal. Understanding these elements helps locals and tourists anticipate mosquito activity and take preventive measures. For more insights, visit the Caribbean Public Health Agency.
