Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Tangalla

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Tangalla, from weather patterns to human habits. The tropical climate means warm temperatures year-round, but rainfall is a key driver—mosquitoes thrive after rains create stagnant water pools. Additionally, the region's lush vegetation, like that around the Mulkirigala Rock Temple, offers shaded resting spots. Human behaviors such as water storage without covers and improper waste disposal can increase breeding sites. Here are some key influencers:

Rainfall and humidity
Presence of standing water
Vegetation density

Understanding these helps locals and visitors take preventive steps to reduce mosquito encounters.
