Mosquito Forecast

Cooler and drier air has greatly reduced mosquito activity across Rowan County this week. With daytime highs in the 60s and overnight lows in the 30s and 40s, conditions are becoming unfavorable for mosquito breeding and survival.

Activity Level:
Mosquito levels are currently low and will remain that way through the weekend thanks to continued dry weather and chilly mornings.

Looking Ahead:
Moisture increases early next week as rain chances return, which could temporarily raise mosquito activity — especially if temperatures rebound into the upper 60s or low 70s.

What You Can Do:

• Empty any standing water from pots, buckets, and birdbaths before the next rain.

• Repair torn window screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

• Use repellent during the warmer parts of the afternoon if you’ll be outdoors.

Cool nights and dry air are helping bring mosquito season to a gradual close across Rowan County.
