What’s the weather going to be like? The answer to the question we ask ourselves every day is just a quick glance at our smartphone away.

What we don’t see is the enormous amount of data behind every single forecast. On today’s World Meteorological Day, the focus is on precisely this invisible foundation.

The motto: "Observe today, protect tomorrow“ takes things a step further, as only with the help of reliable data can weather patterns be identified at an early stage and risks assessed. Given the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, this task is becoming ever more important.

Weather & Radar also receives huge amounts of data every day. Our meteorologists analyse, evaluate, and process this data to produce highly accurate forecasts.
