Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Liepāja

Several environmental factors influence mosquito populations in Liepāja. The city's coastal wetlands and nearby lakes provide abundant standing water, a perfect habitat for mosquito larvae. Temperature and humidity also play critical roles. Warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito life cycles, increasing their numbers quickly. Here are key influencers:

Warm summer temperatures
High humidity near the Baltic Sea
Presence of stagnant water bodies

Understanding these factors can help residents and visitors plan outdoor activities. For instance, evenings near the Liepāja Lake can be more prone to mosquito presence due to cooler temperatures and moisture. Learn more about local climate impacts on mosquitoes at the Latvian Nature Museum.
