Whether it’s about managing visitor flow through weather forecasts or providing tourism dashboards with up-to-date weather information – MetGIS has the right solution. Our solutions are also ideal for integrating weather data into tourism-related websites and apps. Not only forecast data is relevant for tourism: high-resolution historical weather data helps in the creation of AI applications, and climate data supports tourists in choosing the right time to travel to their desired destination.
Easy data retrieval via APIs or our customized weather dashboard
High accuracy and specialization in mountain regions
Forecasts for many parameters 10 days in advance or even long-term
High-resolution historical weather data, perfect for AI applications
Multi-page weather solutions for tourism
Professional solutions for your tourism application or platform!
The tourism industry is extremely diverse and offers a wide range of services. MetGIS provides a comprehensive range of weather data and services to provide you with the right solution. Below are some applications in which MetGIS products can support the tourism industry:
WEATHER IN WEBSITES, APPS AND INFOSCREENS
WEATHER AT A GLANCE
Our weather APIs are ideal for integrating our high-quality weather data into websites, apps and info boards of tourist information offices, accommodation providers, tourist attractions and other tourism-related information services. In addition to numerical data, we also offer turnkey interactive solutions (tourism dashboards based on our MetGIS Pro+ technology) that combine forecast maps with weather reports for any location and map point.
GUIDING VISITOR FLOW
WEATHER SOLUTIONS FOR TOURISM – THE RIGHT OFFER FOR ANY WEATHER
Controlling visitor flow with the help of precise weather forecasts is an issue in many places. Special offers can be provided and promoted for certain weather conditions. In the event of bad weather, for example, it is possible to redirect visitors to indoor offers. Weather data can also be used to forecast visitor flow. In addition to meteorological forecasts, historical weather data is often used to train AI models. MetGIS offers this data across Central Europe in very high spatial and temporal resolution.
CLIMATE INFORMATION
HIGH-RESOLUTION INFORMATION, ALSO FOR THE MOUNTAINS
MetGIS offers very small-scale climate data and climate tables for common weather parameters such as temperature, precipitation, fresh snow, cloud cover and wind.
In addition to average values, maximum and minimum values are also available on a monthly and daily basis. The data is precisely adapted to the surrounding terrain and altitude. They provide holidaymakers and tour operators with precise information about the weather to be expected in a particular month or even a particular week of the year, even in the mountains. Competing products, on the other hand, usually only provide average and maximum values that relate to cities or larger regions.
WEATHER-DEPENDENT ROUTE PLANNING
A SAFE ROUTE WITHOUT CAPRICIOUS WEATHER
Weather is often a safety-relevant factor, especially when it comes to tourist route planning and outdoor activities.
MetGIS has special versions of its weather API that predict the weather along routes and tours, depending on the start time of the tour and the assumed travel speed.
Weather-dependent route planning is useful, for example, for longer hikes, alpine activities such as summit ascents, ski tours, cycling and mountain bike tours as well as motorized tours.
ORGANIZED TRIPS AND EXPEDITIONS
PLANNING FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRIP
MetGIS offers (mountain) travel agencies comprehensive support at various stages of organized trips (from planning to execution). Thanks to the worldwide availability of precise weather data, even in remote areas, MetGIS can use forecasts to prevent the trip from literally ending in a dead end. MetGIS also has the option of sending weather warnings with individually definable threshold values and can use climate data to help find the best time to travel to certain areas in terms of weather.

Useful MetGIS weather products for the tourism and outdoor sector
MetGIS POINT API
PRECISE WEATHER INFORMATION
The MetGIS Point API is a reliable and powerful solution for querying point-based weather data. Via the API we offer a variety of weather parameters, which are available in different output formats. The API can be integrated quickly and easily so that you can use it for your application.
- For websites, apps and business applications
- Ultra-precise weather data with a resolution of up to 30 m
- Available worldwide, even for remote regions
MetGIS MAPS API
HIGH-RESOLUTION WEATHER LAYERS
Our Maps API makes it easy to integrate weather data into external information systems and platforms that are based on the Tile Map Service (TMS) standard. The weather information can thus be placed as a “color layer” over background maps such as Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
- Impressive visualization – unique in the world
- Resolution up to 30 meters for highest zoom levels
- Integration into existing maps (PNG/PBF files, TMS)
- Numerical weather values (UTFGrid) available
MetGIS HIST API
HISTORICAL WEATHER DATA WITH THE HIGHEST PRECISION
MetGIS has an extensive set of historical weather data. To generate the data, we went beyond the usual standard. Our approach not only includes global weather reanalysis models, but also integrates information from regional simulation models and measurement series from certified weather stations.
- Fast download via link or simple API integration
- Historical weather data accurate to within a few hundred meters
- One-off or regular query
- Perfect for AI applications
MetGIS LONG RANGE FORECAST API
WEATHER FORECASTS FOR THE FUTURE
The MetGIS Long Range Forecast API relies on ensemble modeling. For this purpose, different forecasts (“ensemble members”) are used to compare them with each other. The more ensemble members predict a certain weather situation, the higher the probability of occurrence. This makes it possible for MetGIS to recognize trends and forecast probabilities and make them available to you.
- Long-term weather forecasts for the next 7 months
- Different time resolutions (month or day)
- Forecasts for temperature, precipitation and global radiation
- More flexibility through long-term planning options in various sectors, e.g. agriculture, tourism, energy, logistics
WEATHER DASHBOARD (METGIS PRO+)
High-resolution and interactive
MetGIS Pro+ is your turnkey solution for weather data – simple, efficient and effective. This interactive, advanced dashboard bundles high-resolution weather and snow information into one easy-to-use application. All information is presented graphically, allowing you to leverage MetGIS’ extensive expertise and experience in an intuitive GUI interface.
- Zoomable interactive forecast maps in extremely high resolution (up to 30 m)
