Welcome

The Scottish Midge Forecast has relaunched for its’ ninth season, mapping midge levels across Scotland to help you plan your outdoor activities.

Using a set of algorithms relating midge activity to a variety of environmental and seasonal factors, the forecast is supported by live catch data from a network midge traps operated by brave volunteers across the country.

The forecast is also supported by Smidge, providing immediate, powerful and waterproof protection for up to 8 hours.
