I have tried to research this to get proof on the subject.While growing up in the summers at my fathers in Wisconsin my father always told me when the flies start biting its going to rain. Some have said this is just an old farmers tale but I can attest to the accuracy of the statement. I can also add that the only times i can remember being bitten by common flies it did rain! at least near by.

Why do flies bite before is going to rain?
it has always been my ( and many others) experience that they do. not one idiot on the internet can answer why, citing everything from invalid wive's/farmers tales to them seeking shelter to not believing they do. seeking shelter does not explain attacking you! (most of these people probably spend a lot of time in the city or high rises) today i was swarmed so badly before it rained i ran from the garage to the house, i could not keep them off me. i am also diabetic which the explanation is the high blood sugar that they bother me more than normal ( i can be the only person in a room full of people they go after), but even normal people get attacked like pirhanna when it's going to rain. so as i said, YES, although no-one can explain it or even believe it. a bad answer is worse than no answer, which is all i can find. and flies do 'bite', they actually regurgitate stomach acid on you causing a burn, i have been biten many times, and sometimes it's through your socks, you don't notice them until a terrible stinging alerts you, when you swat and look, it's a common house fly! another thing people can not believe-that a fly can bite.
Why do we sweat before rain?
We do not sweat more before rain. However, if rain is coming, there is a good chance that the air is rather humid. In humid air our sweat does not evaporate as quickly, making it more noticeable. To summarize, when it is very humid outside the air is already saturated with water making our sweat evaporate much more slowly.
