Date: Friday, September 19, 2025

With warm afternoons and mild, calm nights, conditions remain favorable for mosquitoes across Rowan County. Here’s what to expect:

Current Mosquito Activity

• Risk Level: Moderate to High

• Peak Times: Just after sunset through the overnight hours, with some activity in shaded areas during late afternoon.

• Contributing Factors:

  • Temperatures staying in the 80s during the day and low 60s at night.

  • Recent humidity levels creating pockets of standing water that serve as breeding grounds.

  • Calm winds allowing mosquitoes to linger in outdoor spaces.

What It Means for You

• Outdoor evening events, backyard gatherings, and sports activities are likely to see noticeable mosquito activity.

• Those sensitive to bites should consider using repellent and wearing long sleeves if outside after dusk.

• Reducing standing water in containers, gutters, or yard areas will help lower local populations.

Outlook
