Welcome back, North Dakotans! As we step into the week of June 29, 2026, it’s time for our weekly bug bite forecast, and unfortunately, we’re seeing a **High** risk across the state. Recent rainfall combined with steadily warm temperatures has created ideal breeding grounds, meaning our tiny buzzing friends are out in full force.

Up in Northwest North Dakota, particularly around the Minot and Williston areas, expect warm and occasionally breezy conditions. This weather keeps mosquitoes and biting flies quite active, especially near water sources and during dusk and dawn.

Over in the Northeast, including Grand Forks and Devils Lake, recent humidity and lingering moisture will mean mosquitoes are absolutely thriving. Ticks, too, remain a concern in wooded and grassy areas, so stay vigilant.

Heading down to Southwest North Dakota, around Dickinson and Bismarck, warm daytime temperatures followed by mild evenings will have a variety of biting insects on patrol. Look out for deer flies and horse flies, which are particularly active in sunnier hours, alongside the ever-present mosquitoes.

Finally, for Southeast North Dakota, from Fargo to Wahpeton, the combination of recent rainfall and humid conditions sets the stage for a very active mosquito population, especially in low-lying and marshy areas. Remember, if those inevitable bites do get the best of you, Just Bite Me natural bug bite relief is readily available at retailers across North Dakota to soothe the itch.
