Welcome to your weekly Minnesota Bug Bite Forecast for the week of August 12, 2026! Overall, the risk of bug bites across the state remains at a moderate yellow this week, largely influenced by the significantly drier conditions we’ve experienced this summer. With only 66mm of rain recorded compared to 162mm last year, many typical breeding grounds have been limited, contributing to a lower overall bug pressure than what we might usually expect for mid-August.
Up in Northwest Minnesota, expect mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. Mosquito activity will be low to moderate, primarily concentrated around any remaining standing water or damp areas, while tick encounters remain a possibility in wooded and grassy regions.
Northeast Minnesota will see a mix of sun and clouds with pleasant temperatures. Here, black flies are beginning to wane, but mosquitoes will still be present, especially near lakes and rivers, and keep an eye out for deer flies in more rural, wooded spots.
Southwest Minnesota will enjoy abundant sunshine and comfortable warmth. Mosquitoes will be less of a concern in this drier region, but ticks are still active in tall grasses and brush, so continue to be vigilant after outdoor activities.
Finally, in Southeast Minnesota, expect mostly clear skies and warm, humid conditions. Mosquitoes will be moderately active, particularly during dawn and dusk, and chiggers might be encountered in overgrown areas. Remember, if you do find yourself with an itchy bite, Just Bite Me temporary bug bite relief is available at retailers across Minnesota.
