Mosquito Forecast

For October 27th - November 3rd, 2025

 

Mosquito numbers fell again as cooler and drier weather has helped preserve mosquito populations to the relatively low levels we are now experiencing. However, despite the low numbers of overall mosquitoes, we did see one of our locally collected samples test positive for West Nile virus last week. Staff will continue monitoring our area for virus, as well as the numbers of local vector mosquitoes known to carry arbovirus in our region.
