This project looks at how climate change affects mosquito breeding in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We used weather data to see how temperature, and humidity affect mosquito breeding. The results show that these weather factors are closely linked to mosquito breeding. To help prevent mosquito-borne diseases, we suggest using the Globe Observer app to alert people when mosquitoes are likely to breed. This can help people take action to prevent mosquito breeding and stay healthy.
