The mosquito season here in Tampa Bay, which never seems to end, is getting even longer thanks to climate change.
The Climate Central report suggests the Tampa area's mosquito season has grown from 320 days long roughly 40 years ago to 322 days.It's almost Thanksgiving, and while the rest of the flannel-clad country is chopping wood and making love on bearskin rugs, we Floridians are still fighting dang mosquitos.
January and February, when it's drier and our average lows are around 49 or 50 degrees, the mosquitos are lightest.This year has been light, Burns tells us, but standing water after back-to-back hurricanes have spawned lots of larval hatch-out activity in coastal areas.Mosquitos are most active at sunrise and sunset.
