introducing meteoblue

meteoblue delivers local weather forecasts of high quality, easy-to-access and without any advertising. 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 meteoblue offer a free high-resolution weather forecast second to none.

Initially hosted at Basel University, meteoblue forecasts became quickly popular with scientists and the public with a specific interest in meteorology, including mountaineers, (hobby) pilots, and astronomers. The company was founded in 2006, to ensure reliable operational forecasts and better serve the industry, and an independent commercial computing infrastructure and product development was established. Since early 2007 the meteoblue computes it’s own high resolution forecasts for Europe, Africa, South America and Southeast Asia, and North America, and uses further proprietary downscaling methods to localise forecasts in other areas.  meteoblue offers detailed diagrams, maps and movies of these models worldwide, as well as downscaling and postprocessing services such as wind forecasts at several levels, atmosphere profiles and archive analysis.

Starting in May 2008, meteoblue point™ 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 SPOT™ technology, meteoblue became the first supplier worldwide capable of showing local weather probabilities in graphical overview for every forecast location.
