Over 4” of rain here this month. But a vast majority of that was during the first week or so 

We get better thunderstorms in February than summer lately

Low of 54 overnight.  Should add 30-33 degrees today.  Great pool weather.

Spraying sucks. No.

Attract more dragonflies. 

I’ve seen a few dragonflies so far this season. They will start growing in number. 

Could go for some 90s again

My cousin lives in Bridgewater by the Taunton river. The mosquitoes there will gnaw your arm off and fly it back to their nest. They used this treatment that was comprised of garlic oil and said it really worked. Was done by some company. So I think there’s options for you. 

Some friends of ours in town use some service. It is guaranteed.  If you see a mosquito (or tick) they come back the next day and spray again. 
 

Im not a huge fan of spraying because it harms other insects.  But it is tempting. 

Screen porch ftw as well.

What about yard foggers? Or maybe treatments for the property? Maybe not cheap but allows you to enjoy the outdoors. 

Some of our neighbors treat for mosquitoes.  Hubbardston is a giant swampy forest. So unless you drop a ton of DDT, the mosquitoes would laugh. 
 

Foggers work a bit for a few hours.  We didn’t plan on doing the fire tonight so I didn’t have any on hand.

It's the question of life. No one seems to be able to answer it.

I am also thinking that maybe we started the solo a bit too early.  The stupid pricks calm down a bit as it gets darker 

Why the fuck do there have to be mosquitoes.  Ruining what is otherwise a stunning evening.  

Kinda surprised KFIT was saying most cloudy at times.

Sounds like clouds ftl. Was torchy here 

No clouds to speak of here today.  A couple but nothing really.  All day.  I got cooked doing yard/pool stuff.

That’s like srn VT. Interior AEMATT had another AN day. Even down to EWB. 

KFIT usually bakes.   I was kind of surprised it didn’t get hotter today.  
 

But this whole area (N ORH etc) was a bit cooler that some people predicted

The bigger story will be the dews . Hopefully at least some storms .. It’s gotten uber Stein recently . Had to start watering 

Summers feel like they have become more and more humid over the past decade or so.  I’m sure Brian or someone would have data showing it one way or the other.

I said 82 to 84 for you.

Yup.  And it was a bit below that AWT. lol (just a degree).   Someone else thought 88 for KFIT. 

Looks like KFIT has had a max of 82 so far?  I don’t know where to find the more granular data

Did the W wind not come in strong enough?  

81 here (80.7) for my high

I was told it would be 85

Anyway, no complaints from me.  I would take this all summer. 

78/58.  Who’s complaining?

Brewery?

Would be perfect for that, but alas…

Temps and dews actually dropping a bit here.  Breeze is nice.  Good day for outdoor work and activities

Just got hit by the season's first deer fly, got stuck in my hair and I got him before he could sting me.

One of the days last week they were obnoxious.  I zapped about 6-8 of the.  Since the. They haven’t been too bad.  Should begin ramping up soon

 It’s equivalent to the northern lights of fireflies right now. I’ve never seen anything like it. 
There was either some anomalous population boom this year or one of their predators is underpopulated. 
 

Yeah.  Tons this year.   Saw a video from Wachusett mountain the other day. Someone was hiking near dusk. The fireflies were easily visible on the camera and were going bonkers. 

72/68 here.  Sticky

Dews are definitely up
