OPEN PIT MINES AND LARGE CONSTRUCTION SITES
Weather forecasts for efficiency and safety
Open pit mines and large construction sites are particularly dependent on the weather. The weather factor, in the form of particularly high or low temperatures, heavy rain, snowfall, thunderstorms, storms, strong sunlight and high humidity, has a huge impact on the safety of people and equipment. An accurate weather forecast can, for example, minimize economic damage if operations have to be shut down due to extreme weather and the “down time” needs to be kept as short as possible. Maintenance and servicing work and the deployment of personnel can also be better planned. All of this leads to a more efficient use of resources and increases safety and productivity. Especially in times of climate change, it is crucial to have efficient weather planning at hand. MetGIS weather data for open pit mines offers you a whole range of products and services for this purpose.
Efficient planning of all activities relating to your project
Reduction of accident risk and increase in team safety
Plannable downtimes, maintenance and blasting
Compliance with safety standards on transport routes
IMPROVING YOUR ACTIVITIES IN PRACTICE
REDUCTION OF DOWNTIME DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS
- Plan all your activities with the weather
- Accurate weather forecasts are essential for planning in order to minimize downtimes and accident risks.
This also leads to better maintenance management and increased productivity. - Strong winds, snowfall, heavy rain and storms can lead to business interruptions.
This is precisely why an accurate weather forecast is important to enable early warnings.
Another benefit is that MetGIS weather applications let you know when weather events will occur and how long they will last to get your operations back up and running.

SAFETY OF YOUR TEAM AND AVOIDANCE OF ACCIDENTS
SUPPLY CHAIN AND ACCESS ROADS MONITORING
- Adapt your employees’ working hours to the prevailing weather conditions to avoid the risk of accidents such as lightning strikes, storms and rain. If an interruption of work is necessary, you will be able to act accordingly.Â
- Mining operations in particular are highly dependent on weather and supply chains. MetGIS applications help you to maintain these supply chains and increase safety. This ensures that your logistics keep on moving.
SAFETY STANDARDS, RISK MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
SNOWFALL AND AVALANCHE MANAGEMENT
- The legal requirements, certifications and company guidelines are becoming increasingly strict. It is therefore necessary to rely on professional weather forecasts and parameters in order to meet these requirements.
- Especially at high altitudes and during the winter months, heavy snowfall or avalanches can lead to costly interruptions.
- Forecast snowfall using our weather applications and plan ahead to avoid safety risks and downtime. The weather parameters wind and snowfall allow you to assess and plan the risk of avalanches.
- Strong winds in particular can cause devastation and have a strong impact on the environment. It can also have a negative impact on the health of your team. Plan your activities to avoid these sources of danger.
Why international mines rely on MetGIS
Ultra-precise weather forecasts (up to 30 meter resolution!)
Precise and accurate predictions are the basis for efficiency and safety. That’s why we have optimized our algorithms to deliver a resolution of up to 30 meters! The combination with detailed terrain data leads to even better forecasts in mountainous regions such as the Andes.
Easy-to-use solutions and Spanish advice
Our solutions for the mining industry are designed for both meteorologists and unskilled personnel to make better decisions on weather-related issues. Thanks to our Spanish-speaking team, we can help, advise and train you by phone, video call or in person at your office or directly at your mine.
More than 10 years of experience in the Latin American mining industry
MetGIS has been operating successfully in Latin America for more than a decade. This means that we not only know the needs of the mining industry, but also the weather-related challenges in the Andean region. Our solutions and our customers benefit directly from this.
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 meter
- Available worldwide, even for remote regions
MetGIS HIST API
HIGH-RESOLUTION WEATHER LAYERS
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
