Default Mosquitos

For the past month, we seem to have been plagued by mossies.
Plagued is far too strong a word of course, but the night time ritual now
includes vacuuming upto a dozen of the things from around the bedroom
(they do infiltrate other rooms as well obviously).

Is there a known increase in numbers this year? Possibly due to wet
weather earlier in the year?

I too have considered this year to be low on Mossies, probably due to the
very wet weather earlier washing them away. Take a look around your garden
for buckets etc with water trapped in them where they can breed.
