Being poorly prepared for the weather or bugs can make any outdoor activity less enjoyable and The Weather Channel teamed up with trusted mosquito repellant brand OFF! to bring local mosquito forecasts to The Weather Channel app. Now, outdoor enthusiasts can check the local forecast and prepare for mosquitos accordingly, thanks to leveraged weather data, insights and predicted behaviors of mosquito populations.
OFF!Cast Mosquito Forecast first launched in the United States in 2022, Brazil in 2023 and Canada in 2024, and this enhanced feature in The Weather Channel app makes the most of The Weather Company’s newly launched data and insights platform, The Weather Engine. With the power of over 15 billion climate data points and real-world mosquito data from 5,000 locations, this feature promises to make summer activities more comfortable.
