Meteo Interactive

Frequently asked questions

How often do forecasts change?

It depends on the model and product. Each dynamic panel shows the time of the data received; reload the page to request the latest available update.

Is the forecast exact for my address?

No. Models describe geographic grid cells and likely scenarios. Terrain, coastlines and very local events can lead to differences.

Can I use the site for safety decisions?

Use it as general information. For hazards, emergencies and warnings, consult the relevant weather and civil-protection authorities.

Which sources does Meteo Interactive use?

City pages obtain forecasts from Open-Meteo. The map credits OpenStreetMap and may use RainViewer for radar, DWD WMS for ICON and nowcast layers, and NASA GIBS for observational satellite imagery. Meteo Interactive identifies source and update time on the relevant page; availability, coverage and refresh frequency remain under each provider’s control.

Why can two weather services show different values?

Different services may use different forecast models, spatial resolutions, update cycles and reference coordinates. Temperature, wind and precipitation can also be rounded or presented over different time intervals. A discrepancy does not necessarily indicate an error: check the source, timestamp, units and exact location before comparing values.
