yes I know about the beautiful Oregon coast as I was in Brookings/harbor with my love. 94F and humid. you can imagine what that must have felt like. Good ol Brookings with the Föhn wind. A highly unusual occurance which is quite common with the river south of town creating it's own weather like pattern 63F in Crescnet city and Gold Beach and windy as can be with socked in fog.
yes in my little spot we get a bit of humidity as well.
funny you guys mention aphids as we are about and without this year due to the late winter snow/ice this past February. A little note as I am still in the business of chemical warfare at the professional level. aphids need humidity to suruve and breed, ants will tend to milk the aphids and are drawn to them in all respects, so if you see ants up and down your trees, aphids and or scale could be the culprit.
Spdiers mites on the other hand love dirty musty conditions and are in most evergreen shrubs of some sort i.e. junipers, arborvitae, spruce trees. the heat of the summer like July really brings them out, one reason I advise a little wash off with the hose in a forceful manner in the eve. They are tough buggers yet as they cling close and bury their eggs within thick needles. The Epa, bless em have taken nearly all chemical controls for spider mites off the market and even as a pro I do not have access to materials for control as in the case with some disease preventitives as well..........
good luck !!
