sheep_herder Posted July 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2018 With all of the rain we've received and the recent hot temperatures in the mid to high 90s, my glasses fogged up when I exited a store this afternoon. Not something that normally happens this time of the year in eastern Montana. Humidity is usually much lower. The mosquitoes are also fierce. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted July 10, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 10, 2018 The best thing about bicycles around here is that, unlike walking, one is usually faster than the mosquitoes. The same is true for Deer Flies who seem to have a v-max of about 10 mph. I've gone for walks the last couple of days and my hands have been flopping around like a cow's tail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need those double digit speeds, otherwise you are a nice sweaty target for gnats and other annoying bugs. On the flip side, I often hit a swarm of gnats at 20+ and get a face full of bugs. YUCK! They stick to sweat as well - even worse to sunscreen. And getting hit by a cicada at speed can hurt - especially in the cheek. I don't understand how some folks can ride without glasses/sunglasses if simply for the eye protection vs. bugs. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr Posted July 10, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 10, 2018 My glasses fog this time of year when I get out of my car in the parking garage. I park on the lowest level, four stories under ground and it gets really humid after rain in the heat of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom When we went to the state park recently the horse flies were after me like white on rice. They ruined what could have been a nice hike. I was bleeding like @Wilbur after an acupuncture appointment by the time we got back to the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge Posted July 10, 2018 Share #11 Posted July 10, 2018 The bugs are bad at the Days River Trail too. It's got a lot of swamp and of course the river. Many mosquitoes and deer flies. The deer flies like to bite me on top of my hand while I'm making a chattery descent and holding on for my life. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted July 10, 2018 Mosquitoes are not new, as we live in an irrigated valley. Higher than normal humidity this time of the year is rather unusual. It is still better than the years I lived in south Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with humidity, but I've found that some of my hot flashes are so bad they make my glasses fog. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing sucks quite like flying into south Texas in summer from someplace cool. The heat and humidity slaps you in the face as soon as you step off the plane. It is like a wall of suck that has been dipped in sweat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead Posted July 10, 2018 Share #16 Posted July 10, 2018 I got this beat, sheep. Whenever I'm out working in the yard during the summer, I sweat profusely and that yuk falls down my forehead and drips onto my glasses. By about 15 minutes, I have a pasty film of perspiration obscuring my vision. I have to have a towel nearby at all times. I'd post a youtube vid on it -- but I can't see it to do it.

I'd be in the same situation, but I learned to wear sweat bands to keep the sweat off of my glasses and out of my eyes. I sometimes have to wring it out several times when doing chores. I like the thicker terry cloth type of bands. The goats would just love it if I were to pack a towel around with me. They would be chewing on it and pulling it out of my pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of times a year we'll get high (for us) humidity as tropical moisture gets pulled up from Mexico. Were having an episode now. Our summer heat did hit us a little earlier this year as "June gloom" often lasts well into July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
