MetGIS WEATHER WARNINGS
Weather early warnings for your safety
Our weather is characterized by complexity and numerous influencing factors. This means that constant change is actually the norm. It becomes problematic and dangerous when unforeseen extreme events occur. These often lead to serious damage and breakdowns. Regardless of the industry, severe weather can cause serious problems.
Above all, the safety of people has top priority. In addition, it is important to minimize monetary damage and downtime, including crop losses. Due to climate change in particular, extreme weather events are expected to increase in intensity and frequency.

SOLUTION FROM METGIS
FOR EARLY WEATHER WARNINGS
The currently valid weather warnings of all European weather services are processed by MetGIS, continuously updated and compactly summarized in a GeoJSON file for further use. The file provides information on the respective country that issued the warning, the content and area of the warning, warning levels and the validity period of the warning. This allows you to take appropriate measures in good time and be prepared for disruptive weather influences.
