Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Büyükçekmece

Several factors influence mosquito populations around Büyükçekmece. The area's mild Mediterranean climate, combined with the proximity to Büyükçekmece Lake, creates ideal breeding grounds. Key elements include:
  • Warm temperatures from May to September
  • Stagnant water bodies like ponds and marshes
  • Urban green spaces and gardens
Additionally, rainfall patterns affect mosquito breeding; heavy rains can increase standing water, boosting mosquito numbers. Understanding these factors can help residents and travelers anticipate mosquito activity. For more on local climate impacts, visit the Istanbul Environmental Agency.
