You don't really find mosquitoes where you're likely to find hailstorms.

You don't really find mosquitoes where you're likely to find hailstorms.
- RBerenguel 11y agoIn Spain we definitely have mosquitos, and most Augusts we have these summery storms, sometimes bringing also hailstorms (sizze varies though between drop sized ice and golfball sized ice)
- acyacy 11y agoYou find them in these areas. When it gets cold there tends to be far fewer of them. And compared to the equators its nearly incomparible.
- Dove 11y agoCold isn't required for hailstorms. The ice forms at altitude. We have a lot of hailstorms in the spring and summer in Colorado, and while it isn't the mosquitoiest place I've ever lived, there are mosquitoes.
- acyacy 11y agoCompared with where its mosquito haven like by the Equator? I suppose raindrop vs hailstone is a reason is one of the reason's the density issues are so different.
- Dove 11y agoYeah. Mosquitoes are densest in the tropics where hailstorms are rare, but just about everywhere on earth short of Antarctica has some mosquitoes. I'd think mosquitoes would meet hailstones occasionally, though I can't really see the mosquito surviving it.
- rawTruthHurts 11y agoNeat plastic bubble that where you live in!
- acyacy 11y agoI'd like to see you compare the density of mosquitoes in colder climates to those close to the equator.
- rawTruthHurts 11y agoI'd like to see you not really finding mosquitoes where you're likely to find hailstorms.
- eitally 11y agoI just returned from a vacation in Wyoming where we were hit by a number of hailstorms, not to mention more common thunderstorms (it was a VERY wet and cold May). Still had to deal with mosquitos (but not nearly as bad as in mid-late summer).
- richardjs 11y agoAre you thinking of sleet? Hail is associated with severe thunderstorms,[1] which definitely occur in areas with mosquito populations.
