What Influences Mosquito Activity in Commewijne River?

Several factors contribute to the mosquito population fluctuations in the Commewijne River region. The tropical climate, characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity, supports mosquito breeding year-round. Seasonal rainfall patterns cause mosquito numbers to rise, especially during the wet months from December to May.

Key influencers include:

Rainfall and humidity levels
