Welcome to your weekly Nebraska bug bites forecast for the week of October 12, 2026! This week, Nebraska is a study in contrasts, with some regions still experiencing active biting insects while others have finally succumbed to the colder temperatures and gone dormant. The unusually widespread standing water and breeding grounds, a direct result of Nebraska’s much wetter than usual recent past – we’ve seen 308mm of rain compared to just 38mm during the same period last year – are definitely shaping where those active zones are. The accordion below still lists every city and town, but dormant communities will now receive seasonal local notes instead of a bite forecast, as we diligently re-check temperatures every week.

In Northwest Nebraska, the chill has truly set in, and with temperatures hovering around 48.3°F during the day and overnight, this region is officially dormant. Residents can enjoy the outdoors without much concern for insect activity.

Similarly, Northeast Nebraska is also dormant this week. With daytime temperatures around 49.8°F and overnight lows near 46.4°F, the cooler weather has effectively put a stop to most outdoor insect activity here.

However, move to Southwest Nebraska, and it’s a completely different story. This area remains active, with a balmy 68.4°F during the day and overnight temperatures around 67.2°F, meaning biting insects are still very much a presence for those enjoying the mild weather.

Finally, Southeast Nebraska is also active, experiencing the warmest conditions across the state. With temperatures around 71.3°F by day and 69.3°F overnight, residents should still be prepared for persistent insect activity. Remember, for any lingering discomfort, Just Bite Me temporary bug bite relief is available at retailers across Nebraska.

▶Northwest NW 31 communities

Northwest Nebraska is currently around 48.3°F with 96% humidity and scattered clouds. Mosquitoes and black flies are dormant here this week; city notes below cover frost, indoor pests, and next-season prep instead of bite risk. With 308mm of rain over the past month, compared with 38mm during the same stretch last year, the ground has stayed unusually saturated, giving mosquitoes far more breeding sites than usual.

❄️ DormantScottsbluff

Scottsbluff residents should be aware of the upcoming first frost, a good time to bring in sensitive plants from your porches and prepare garden beds near the Monument. The higher rainfall this past month has saturated soils, which could make for a muddier freeze

❄️ DormantAlliance

For Alliance, it’s too cold for mosquitoes to be active around Carhenge or Central Park, as they require overnight lows to stay above 50°F (10°C) to emerge from diapause. The unusually high precipitation over the last month has created many potential breeding sites for when temperatures eventually rise
