They leave small, itchy bites and, in some cases, deadly illnesses. This is more common in countries with tropical climates, such as India.\u00a0<\/p><p>As an expat living in India, understanding mosquito seasons and adopting effective disease prevention method is very important to staying healthy in a tropical climate where mosquito-borne illnesses are prevalent year-round.<\/p><p>While the monsoon months (June to September) are traditionally associated with mosquito-borne diseases, recent trends indicate that mosquito activity begins as early as March and April.<\/p><p>This is particularly true in urban areas where stagnant water, poor sanitation, and construction activities create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. Understanding the dynamics of mosquito seasons and taking preventive measures can help mitigate the risks of diseases like dengue, malaria, and
