A blogger I follow thought he would be smart this summer, so he went to northern Finland to escape the heat. Instead he reported being miserable with mosquito bites and the hot, humid weather. The hot spell was unusual, which meant there was no air conditioning, of course. (I just checked the temperature now, it’s still humid but the temperature highs have dropped to the 60s F.)
You just can’t predict. Except for the mosquitoes?

Check some reliable source regarding “,things” other than weather…
However sandflies are more difficult to contend with…
Apparently the mosquitoes in Lapland are well known.
That would be my luck. Going somewhere to escape heat and walking in to an unexpected heat wave.
Same here!
…heat is the new norm!
Unfortunately!
I think that we have that same Heat wave is on top of us here in Texas right now. Poor guy…those mosquitos can be horrible.
Yes.
This is supposed to be the hottest year on record so far. I believe it. 😉
And it’s bound to get worse. 🙁
Poor guy! I think those mosquitos are pretty much immune to anything … much like the kudzu in Alabama.
🙂
With the crazy weather lately, no one can predict what it is going to do anywhere in the world. Except, of course, for the sad melting of the permafrost and glaciers…
Yes. 🙁
Sorry that didn’t work out for him.
He took it well, got some posts out of it.
I’ve had a couple of mosquito bites and seen a couple of the dratted things.
I haven’t had one in years.
Tough luck
🙂
It seems like it was a very tough summer to escape the heat. Every day I am so thankful for good-working a/c.
Same here!
I have to say this year is miserable – but for the next week – we have a few days of relief!
Fingers crossed.
It’s so much cooler here, finally!
I’m happy for you! 🙂
