Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Jūrmala

Mosquito presence in Jūrmala is influenced by several environmental and climatic factors. The proximity to the Gulf of Riga and the region's many wetlands create abundant breeding grounds. Key influences include:

Temperature: Warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito life cycles.
Humidity: High humidity supports mosquito survival.
Standing water: Rainfall and stagnant pools boost breeding.

Additionally, the pine forests that fringe Jūrmala contribute organic debris to water bodies, creating nutrient-rich environments for larvae. Understanding these factors helps locals and tourists anticipate periods of heightened mosquito activity.

The Latvian Centre for Disease Prevention and Control offers updated health advisories and vaccination information for travelers and residents alike.
