Pune, Maharashtra, is currently experiencing an unusual natural phenomenon where swarms of mosquitoes are forming tornado-like formations in the skies of Keshavnagar and Kharadi Gavthan areas. This event has been linked to the elevated water levels of the Mula Mutha River. Videos capturing these mosquito tornadoes have gone viral, highlighting the scale and intensity of the swarms. Concurrently, there has been a sharp rise in the detection of mosquito-borne viruses in Queensland, with authorities urging residents to be vigilant for symptoms such as fever, chills, and joint pain. Additionally, a spike in Ross River virus infections has raised concerns about increasing infection rates in the coming months.
