New history+ features

meteoblue extends history+ with additional risk assessment tools for wind and crop analysis.

history+ enables access to unique historical weather data series and several data analysis tools such as histograms, wind roses or year comparisons for customized analysis. These tools are available for every point on Earth, since the analysis uses historical weather simulation model data from NEMSGLOBAL since 1984, local high-resolution and re-analysis (ERA5) since 1979.

This uniquely wide offer is now extended with 2 additional functions:


Risk assessment for wind gust and wind speed
The new wind risk assessments summarises the probability of certain wind speed and gust events. The output is based on more than 35 years of historical weather data and thereby allows long-term analysis.

  • Customized assessments by selecting own wind speed thresholds and event durations.
  • Likelihoods for customized wind events over one year, which helps to find seasonal patterns.
  • Define your own tolerable risk and check its occurrences over one year. Analyse the occurrences of your defined risk for each single year since 1984.
  • The dataset is fully consistent and gapless and is thereby the perfect opportunity to compare risks in different years and to find changes over years.
  • Simulations represent local wind conditions not as precisely as with measurements. Simulations are, however, seamless in timespace and time, which can never be achieved with measurement data. Therefore, simulation data enables unique long-term and site comparisons.

Crop risk prediction and crop risk analysis
The meteoblue crop risk diagrams are a novel way to combine climate data, weather data, and crop data to assess local crop-specific climate risks based on weather event frequency:

  • Quick-to-read, informative diagrams for better agricultural planning and for analyzing weather-related uncertainties.
  • Several different crops and risk are available for detailed and customized growth stages analysis.
  • Interactive risk tool with several options for customised analysis.
  • Assess risks to different crops such as drought, heat, or cold risk to evaluate actions like planting, fertilising or irrigating.
  • 7 day and seasonsal soil water forecast data is taken into account to estimate soil water content and growing degree days.

The new risk assessment features are already available in history+ and are added to existing history+ subscriptions.

A free test to test all functionalities of our history+ interface without any limitations is enabled for Basel. We appreciate your feedback and hope to support you better in risk evaluation and decision making.
