Mosquitoes may seem particularly bad this year primarily because of global warming which allows them to thrive in more regions and reproduce more frequently.
Here’s a breakdown of the reasons:
- Global Warming: Warmer temperatures expand the geographical areas where mosquitoes can survive and breed (Global warming is making it easier for mosquitoes to survive in more parts of the world).
- Increased Reproduction: Warmer weather speeds up the mosquito life cycle, allowing them to produce more generations within a single year (The warmer planet also helps them to squeeze in more reproductive cycles, and therefore produce more generations of insects, than ever before).
In summary, the changing climate provides mosquitoes with ideal conditions for survival and reproduction, leading to larger and more persistent populations.
