During the height of summer, mosquito season is not always full on swarms of mosquitos everywhere all the time. Most days are quiet and livable. It's only in the evenings when it gets bad. Even then on most days, it gets bad to the point of being a nuisance but not too overwhelming. If you're a northerner, you just keep your legs and arms covered, stick to the campfire smoke and you're OK. Or you just head indoors behind mosquito netting.

The full on swarms only happen on particular days when the wind has died down and the air is very still and the temperature, humidity and light level is just right. When conditions are perfect for mosquitoes, it is actually dangerous to be outside. Some years, these types of days only happen maybe five to ten days of summer. Other years, these types of days can happen for days at a stretch and happen more often.

It's a lot like cold weather in the winter when you think about it. The winters here are harsh but if you are prepared and protected enough, you can survive most of the winter on your own. But when the weather becomes extreme, you shelter in, bury yourself behind layers of wood, earth, brush, plywood, whatever and wait for the most dangerous periods to pass.
