Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Lendava

Several environmental and human factors influence mosquito populations in Lendava. Key contributors include:

Warm temperatures and humidity, especially in summer
Standing water from the Mura River's floodplains
Urban green spaces and gardens

Additionally, Lendava's location near wetlands and agricultural areas creates ideal breeding grounds. Mosquitoes thrive when temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C, a common summer scenario here. Urban development can both reduce and increase mosquito habitats depending on water management. For more on how local climate affects insects, visit the Slovenian Meteorological Service.
