What is the best way to generate revenue for a weather-based app?

Hi there, I'm building a webapp that is weather-related. There is no fee or subscription to use the product, but I'm curious to hear how you think it could make money. To give more context, it is related to measuring the likelihood of mosquitoes near you, and would additionally provide health tips for users.

I don't see why you couldn't do all 3. Both 1 and 2 require a decent amount of traffic. Option 2 could be better from a monetization perspective as you could link to sites like amazon etc for things like repellant (and generate additional revenue from other purchases).
