🦟 Iceland reports the presence of mosquitoes for the first time, as climate warms / NPR

「 Though they sting, the institute said they don't carry known infections in those areas. One study from 2017 said Culiseta annulata are often "regarded as a biting nuisance, rather than a deadly foe." 」

@jbz meh, we just had a day in Sydney peaking at 39C which is 17C over the avg, preceded by a day of 38C. It's October.
