Delhi's Mosquitoes: Climate Change Allows Year-Round Breeding
Imagine it's winter, but the mosquitoes are still buzzing around!
That's happening in Delhi.
The weather is getting warmer overall, and winters are shorter.
This is because of something called climate change.
Because of this, mosquitoes, which usually disappear in winter, can now breed all year long.
Also, unexpected rain and cities becoming hotter than the countryside are helping them.
This means more mosquitoes, which is a problem because they can spread diseases.
Mosquitoes are thriving year-round in Delhi, a sign of climate change.
Shorter winters and rising temperatures are accelerating mosquito breeding.
Erratic rainfall and urban heat islands also contribute to the issue.
