How to Keep Mosquitoes From Ruining Your Fun Outside and Inside
Why are people more protected from mosquito-borne disease after cold storms as opposed to warm ones? Mosquitoes like warm weather, below 15°C (59°F) is too cold.
Conversely, above 30°C (86°F) is too hot for them, which is why in warm areas the ideal time for mosquitoes to begin their bloody binge is just after sundown.
This also explains why in the mountains where the temperature is lower you will often get bitten during the day as the temperature is too low at nightfall.
