The Scottish Midge Forecast

The Scottish Midge Forecast

Keep one step ahead of midges

The Scottish Midge Forecast is created using data collected from biting midge traps and mini-weather stations across Scotland.

This is extended using weather forecast data, giving you a big picture view of midge levels across Scotland throughout the season.


Get ready for your next adventure. SMIDGE UP and get out there!

HOW TO READ THE FORECAST

We use a scale of 1 to 5 depending on the number of biting midges there are. With level 5 being the most annoying.
