Why add the midge forecast to your site?
Help your guests plan
Visitors ask about midges all summer. A live forecast answers the question before they ask, and shows them the best times to be out.
Always up to date
The forecast refreshes every three hours from 688 points across Scotland, with no plugin to update.
Light and private
No cookies, ads or tracking inside the widget. It lazy-loads and resizes itself automatically.
Widget FAQ
Is the midge forecast widget free?
Yes, completely free for any website, including commercial sites such as campsites, holiday lets and tour operators. We just ask that you keep the small "Midge forecast by Live Breathe Scotland" credit.
Does the widget update itself?
Yes. It shows the live forecast and refreshes automatically every three hours, so there is nothing to maintain.
Will it slow my website down?
No. The widget is a tiny, self-contained page with no tracking and no ads, and it only loads when a visitor scrolls to it.
Can I show my exact location?
Yes. Pick one of over 200 places, a whole region, or use "Embed" from any search result on the forecast to get a widget for that exact spot.
Does it work with WordPress, Wix and Squarespace?
Yes. Paste the code into any "Custom HTML" or "Embed" block.
