METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS: meteoblue displays mostly weather forecasts: These are display in the same way as meteorological observations, to make them comparable. Two examples: A temperature of 15°C at 12:00 means that 15°C is expected to be measured at 12:00. A precipitation forecast of 3 mm of rain for the time from 09:00-12:00 o'clock is displayed as "3 mm " at 12:00, because a total of 3 mm observed between 09:00 and 12:00 would have been measured at 12:00 o'clock. More details can be found under each parameter.
MEASURING SYSTEMS: meteoblue uses metric measurements. Conversions to other systems are available on request.
