Dengue outbreak: experts worry El Niño's wet winter could worsen mosquitoes
Original: Amid dengue outbreak, mosquito control experts are wary of a wet winter fueled by El Niño
Mosquito control experts are warning that a dengue outbreak could worsen as El Niño brings a warmer, wetter winter, allowing mosquitoes to stay active longer into the cooler months. Health officials and control districts are urging residents to remove standing water and take precautions as conditions favor mosquito breeding and the continued spread of dengue in affected areas.
Why now: El Niño is expected to bring wetter weather that could extend mosquito season and fuel an ongoing dengue outbreak.
