Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Blackpool

Standing water in parks and gardens, especially after rainfall
Warm temperatures from late spring to early autumn
Urban heat islands created by dense housing near the seafront

Additionally, the tidal pools along the coast can sometimes serve as breeding grounds. Understanding these influences helps residents and tourists anticipate mosquito presence. For more details on how weather impacts mosquito populations, visit the Met Office.
