How warm does Brooklin get in July?
The Oshawa WPCP station's July mean is 20.6 degrees Celsius, with about 3.8 days a year above 30 degrees Celsius.
Why are there more mosquitoes after rain?
Rain fills containers, gutters and ditches, which become breeding sites within days. OpenStreetMap maps water near the centre of Brooklin, including Lynde Creek, Oshawa Creek and Pringle Creek, and damp ground near water suits mosquitoes.
Is West Nile virus a concern here?
Public health units monitor mosquito pools each season, and the usual advice is to cut breeding water and avoid bites at dusk.
