Humidity and Bugs in NH ??? (scorpions, live, areas) - New Hampshire - City-Data Forum

Ok, I know that NH has bugs and humidity but I am wondering if there is less of either or both if you live closer to the coast????
Input appreciated !!

unfortunately the seacoast has it's own set of bugs that are inherent to the marsh area

lol

on the whole, I would say the weather is less humid at the coast, but the salt air more than makes up for the humidity lacking in the forecast

Now the bugs are a different story, but the humidity was bearable this summer. Once in a while it was obnoxious, but mainly OK. We're in the Monadnock Region.

Have you heard about NH's state bird?
Black Flies

If you live near a wooded area, you will get lots of mosquitos, regardless.

Humidity? Very rarely.

Thanks for the input everybody! I'll bring my bug spray for sure.

Where are you from by the way?

We moved here from northern Virginia and find the humidity to be almost non-existant and the bugs to be much less bothersome.

In contrast folks from dry areas or within the state might find humidity/bugs to be much more bothersome.

From Nevada. A tad bit of change in the weather and bug dept.

That's funny! I'm with you about the humidity, it's much worse down here. But I tend to think there bugs here are nothing - particularly compared to them up there!

I've only ever been to Vegas. It's more humid here. But it doesn't get NEARLY as hot (or feel nearly as hot even with the humidity); that said you might sweat & notice it- whereas there it just evaporates immediately.

As for bugs; I think its too dry for mosquitos there...so they are worse here in regard to flying insects. That said- we don't have scorpions or fire ants...
