meteoblue delivers
local weather information of
high quality worldwide for any point on land or sea in the
world.
meteoblue premium content,
products, and
services are designed for businesses that depend on the weather and for individuals with a special interest in meteorology, and are available at competitive prices. For the general public we offer a free high-resolution weather forecast second to none.
meteoblue uses cutting edge science and technology to generate, display and distribute weather forecasts. Adapting the world-class
NMM weather prediction model to meso-scale, we are able to detect climatic patterns typical of mountainous areas, lake shores and on the sea.
meteoblue
models were initially developed at the
University of Basel, Switzerland, in cooperation with
NOAA/
NCEP and the weather forecasts became quickly popular with scientists and the public with a specific interest in meteorology, including mountaineers, (hobby) pilots, and astronomers.
meteoblue was
founded as a company in 2006, to ensure
reliable operational forecasts and to better
service the industry, and an independent commercial computing
infrastructure and
product development was established.
Since early 2007, the meteoblue computer cluster is daily computing high
resolution forecasts for
Europe,
Africa and
South America, and since 2008 also for
Southeast Asia. For other
areas, regional models and NOAA/NCEP GFS model runs are processed to generate information covering the entire
world.
The meteoblue web site offers detailed
maps and
diagrams of these
models, as well as
localised presentations, which are continuously expanded to serve the different interest groups.
myMapServer was introduced to allow users to individually configure the visuals of their forecast.
Starting in May 2008, meteoblue
p☼int® offers local forecasts for more than 5 million
places worldwide, using proprietary modelling to generate locally adapted forecast for
surface and
atmosphere. Through the introduction of
SP☼T® technology, meteoblue became the first supplier worldwide capable of instantaneously showing local weather probabilities in graphical overview for every
selected location.
With
where2go?!, meteoblue launched the world's first full area weather search on the web. With
where2go?!, you can search the best weather in the entire area surrounding your
selected location for the next day(s), and see the results on a map - in seconds.
