Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Galhinna

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Galhinna. The area's elevation at around 1,200 meters provides a cooler climate, which slightly reduces mosquito breeding compared to lowland regions. However, the frequent rains during the southwest monsoon create plenty of stagnant water pools, ideal for mosquito larvae. Key influencers include:

Rainfall and humidity levels
Temperature variations
Presence of standing water in tea plantations

Understanding these factors helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito activity. For more on how weather impacts mosquitoes, visit the Sri Lanka Department of Meteorology.
