Whoa. Crazy. I got close today. 57°. Definitely got uncomfortable especially in the evening.
I remember getting uncomfortable from humidity last spring (dewpoint got up to 66 in April), but haven't noticed it yet this year. I guess that shows we have different thresholds.

That's more local than local can get. lol Everything was so scattered north of TN and VA
Yep. This driving pic is out of focus, but there was some blue sky next to the rain shaft.
As a matter of fact it occurred to me I haven't been seeing mosquitoes yet, even though it's very warm. That's one bright side to this dry April.
I think maybe the cold weather makes mosquitoes more aggressive. In Moscow the mosquitoes were like little omnipresent devils while in tropical areas I've traveled I've barely been bitten at all, even in Tegus which is 30c year round and Lima which has the humidity of a sauna
The higher humidity was definitely noticeable today, it wasn't really anything out of the ordinary but we haven't had too many warm+humid days this year, warm days have mainly been dry. High was 74F.

I noticed that too. The places with the most massive mosquito populations during the summertime are places like the Alaskan interior and Siberia.
But the summers [in Yakutsk] sound even worse than the winters – short and sticky, with two or three weeks when the temperature hits 30C or 35C. None of the buildings is equipped with air conditioning, and the air is filled with midges and mosquitoes in swarms of biblical proportions. One (possibly apocryphal) tale tells of reindeer dying because they were unable to breathe, so thick were the clouds of insects.
However, there are some tropical climates with enormous mosquito problems as well. The worst and largest mosquitoes I ever encountered were in Baroda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadodara#Climate
Yakutsk is a terrible terrible place to live, there's often floods and mudslides in the summer and obviously mosquitoes as mentioned above. Nicest climates in Russia are Sochi or anywhere close to Azerbaijan
Hot Hot Hot! 90/68 predicted today. Probably more like 85/69 where I am though.
