and holy cow the deer and horse flies are completely out of control.

We’ve dealt with them for 23 years at our home in upstate NY…..this is the worst they have ever been.

Vicious.

Same here, I've never seen so many, I take the dog out and we get attacked. What would cause an explosion of these damn bugs?

HHH and rain maybe? Mild winter? Just a guess tho.

Yes, been noticing that.  Often don’t have much issue up here with them (not like down in CT) but this year they are everywhere and on you immediately.

Insects are abundant in humid climates like New England 

Man, the woods and lake in Woodstock is always the worst spot for them to me.  Walking dirt roads in NE CT and those horse flies will try to carry you away.

Now they are moving up here, ha.

Hot one in Portland, ME. 95 on carle therm, probably 90ish? @11am

Too much pavement?  PWM had 84/71 at 11 and 86/73 at noon, down 2° by 1 PM thanks to a south wind.  HI at BDL was 101 at 1.

Mid 80s and no humidity gauge here but the air is incredibly stuffy.  We're in amongst the trees and they must be pumping up the dews.

Same here, I've never seen so many, I take the dog out and we get attacked. What would cause an explosion of these damn bugs?

Stand still and the deerflies often lose interest, kinda like T-Rex.  From how a bite feels, the little beasts' dental equipment must look similar as well, though fortunately much smaller. 
The worst I've had with deerflies was in NW Maine during hot wx,  Walking thru the woods, I'd have hundreds of black things buzzing around me.  Most were harmless "sweatlickers" that looked like houseflies, but with the flying circus going on, one couldn't tell which ones had the knives until it was too late.  I hate wearing hats when it's hot and every deerfly knows that the whorl of one's hair is a nice easy target.  Crush one fly there and a couple dozen more show up for the funeral, and they would all expect a meal.

Just went on a walk to Dunkin. Dews in the 70's don't even feel that humid anymore. Did I get a bit sweaty on the walk back, sure. That is just natural. 70's dews are just another walk in the park. Embrace it, accept it, enjoy it. 

It’s absolutely disgusting out there.  Too hot for me , 88/78 at the house

10 day record is def doable here. I'm seeing the weekend with 90's on the global ops as well. 

We will def need some luck on timing for showers Thurs/Friday. That's the risk... The 6z euro op gives us that luck though...

If we get that, could pull this out through next Tuesday before ending the streak...

Maybe Brian can run numbers but this has gotta be some kind of a bulk hydrostatic height record over Logan
