Hello, Tennessee! As we head into the week of June 29, 2026, it’s looking like a particularly active time for our six-legged friends across the state, prompting us to issue a ๐ด High risk rating for bug bites. With summer in full swing, the combination of warm temperatures, humidity, and recent rain means most biting insects are thriving.
Up in Northwest Tennessee, particularly around the Memphis area, you can expect classic hot and humid conditions, which are absolutely ideal for mosquitoes to be out in full force. Be extra vigilant during dawn and dusk hours, as well as after any afternoon showers.
Moving over to Northeast Tennessee, including the Knoxville and Tri-Cities regions, while temperatures might be a touch milder in higher elevations, recent wet weather means ticks are highly active in wooded areas and tall grasses. You’ll also want to watch out for biting flies and chiggers in damp, shaded spots.
Down in Southwest Tennessee, especially around the Jackson area, the persistent heat and humidity will create a prime environment for a significant increase in mosquito populations. Additionally, expect to encounter more biting flies, particularly near water sources.
Lastly, in Southeast Tennessee, from Chattanooga to the surrounding mountain areas, a mix of warm weather and scattered pop-up showers will keep both mosquitoes and ticks very active. Remember, should you find yourself with an unwelcome bite, Just Bite Me natural bug bite relief is conveniently available at retailers across Tennessee.
