Weather and Climate
Inform yourself about precipitation, snow fall and depth, temperature and cloud cover at one glance with our interactive and animated Weather & Climate layer. This way, you can get information about the current and upcoming weather and use it for planning your routes.
How do I activate the weather and climate map layer?
The weather function is available with a Pro+ subscription.
Full functionality is currently only available on the web. For access, go to the map selection at the bottom right of the screen and activate the OSM or Outdooractive map. Under “Style”, you can now select “Weather & Climate” and view information such as temperature, snow depth, precipitation, etc.
Only the snow depth map is currently available in the app version.
Where does the data come from?
The data we use comes from MetGIS, which combines weather models and terrain data to create ultra-accurate forecasts. Covering up to 30 meters, MetGIS forecasts are among the best in the world.
The insertion of cloud and snow cover is provided via ExoLabs.
What makes MetGIS so accurate?
MetGIS uses a set of highly innovative forecasting techniques that combine numerical weather forecasting models with extemely detailed terrain data. This methodology is even reflected in the name “MetGIS”, with “Met” standing for ''meteorology' and ''GIS'' being an abbreviation for 'Geographical Information System'. Especially over mountainous terrain, MetGIS has clear advantages over conventional systems, as the exact altitude and forecasting point locations are included in the process.
The different layers
Our weather map comes in many styles. The general 'Weather' style includes temperature, rain and snowfall, and clouds. For those who are primarily interested in current or future snow conditions, there is also a 'Snow' style, which displays existing snow cover and forecasts for fresh snow. With the 'Temperature' style the map is colored accordingly based on the temperature.
More styles include: Monthly Precipitation, Snow Depth, Monthly Average Temperature, Monthly Cloud Cover, Monthly Snow Cover.
A legend is available for each of the styles to explain what the color gradients represent.
The combined weather map from MetGIS shows cloud cover, rainfall, snowfall and temperatures.
With the interactive snow map you can see where and how much snow there is (snow cover). It also gives a snow forecast.
The forecast shows the temperature two metres above the ground. Due to the terrain adjustment, the map is very finely ...
The Snow Depth map shows how much snow has fallen across the Alps, and where.
