    It's just a PR stunt for Antman. Once you go see it, they stop bothering you.

    They usually come out just before thunderstorms.

    They emerge as winged adults when Temperature and humidity are right.

    It's the humidity that brings them out, humid conditions can lead to thunderstorms, but thunderstorms are rare here because the deep areas of low pressure sweep the heat away.

    Thanks for clarifying further.
    Where I come from, if flying ants were out and about, you could be certain a nice thunderstorm was building up :)
