“Summer” Wet, Some Are Not!
You probably remember recent summers that featured more rain than not. In 2021, we got rained out on both Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends. According to CBS News, the summer of 2021 was Boston’s fourth wettest on record. July alone was the second wettest on record. We had measurable rainfall on 19 out of the 31 days in July.
Could have a repeat of some of that rain this summer?
Mosquitoes thrive in the wet. They look for areas of stagnant water to lay their eggs, and with a lot of rain, they won’t have to look very hard. On top of that, they thrive in temperatures above 80 degrees. It can get too hot for mosquitoes, which is why you’ll notice that they bite less on very hot days. However, the diseases they carry are more active and more transmissible at high temperatures.
