Early mosquito season expected due to warm weather
The United States is bracing for an early mosquito season, potentially starting as early as March. Typically, mosquito season peaks from June to September, but forecasts of a warm spring and summer by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration could lead to an earlier and more intense season. Experts believe that the recent winter, marked by heavy precipitation, may create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, though freezing temperatures could also reduce their numbers.
