EuroMeteo – European Weather Explorer

Interactive explorer for European meteorological observations via MeteoGate. Visualize real-time station data across Europe (WIS 2.0 / E-SOH).

European Open Data Overview (MeteoGate)

EuroMeteo Explorer is the live-monitoring side of Climate Explorer. Instead of a long historical archive, it is designed for near real-time meteorological observations flowing through the MeteoGate platform and the WIS 2.0 / E-SOH ecosystem.

Use it when weather systems do not respect national boundaries: an Alpine wind event, a North Sea frontal passage, or a heatwave spreading across several countries within hours. The tool focuses on the E-SOH (European Surface Observations HVD) dataset, giving you station-level views of temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, and more.

About this Data

EuroMeteo is your gateway to the MeteoGate platform, a groundbreaking initiative by EUMETNET (The Network of European Meteorological Services). This system standardizes the flow of real-time weather data across the continent, adhering to the World Meteorological Organization’s WIS 2.0 (WMO Information System) protocols.

Through Climate Explorer, you can visualize the E-SOH (European Surface Observations HVD) dataset in real-time. This provides:

  • Pan-European Coverage: A unified view of weather from Iceland to Cyprus, including overseas territories, removing the need to visit dozens of separate national websites.
  • Harmonized Data: Standardized units and formats, allowing for direct comparison of temperatures in London, Berlin, and Rome.
  • Rapid Updates: Data streams directly from National Meteorological Services (NMS), minimizing latency.

Unique Value: Cross-Border Situational Awareness

Unlike historical archives, EuroMeteo focuses on the Now. The Observations API delivers the data from 5 March 2026 to present, making it the ideal tool for: 1. Aviation & Logistics: Tracking current visibility and wind conditions across transport corridors. 2. Emergency Management: Monitoring the progression of storms or heatwaves as they cross national borders. 3. Meteorological Analysis: Verifying numerical weather prediction (NWP) models against ground truth in real-time.

How to use this tool

  1. Overview Map: The map displays thousands of active stations. Zoom in to see the dense network in regions like the Alps or the Benelux.
  2. Country Filter: Use the sidebar to focus on specific networks (e.g., “Germany (DWD)”, “France (Météo-France)”, “Spain (AEMET)”).
  3. Station Inspection:
    • Single-Click: View quick details on the map.
    • Double-Click: Open the full Station Dashboard to see trends since 5 March 2026.
  4. Visualize: The Plots tab automatically generates temperature curves, precipitation bars, and wind roses for the selected period.
  5. Export: Need the raw numbers? The Data tab allows you to view and copy the precise values for your own analysis.
  6. Time Navigation: Use the Time Slider at the bottom of the map to step back through hourly observations. It anchors to the latest available data for today or to the end of the day for historical dates.

How to Interpret EuroMeteo Observations

EuroMeteo is designed for situational awareness, not long-term climate normals. The values shown in the explorer represent near real-time station observations, which makes the page most useful for tracking evolving weather conditions, comparing neighboring countries, and checking how a live event is unfolding across a broad region.

When reading the explorer, keep these interpretation rules in mind:

  • Cross-Border Comparisons: The strongest use case is comparing the same parameter across nearby countries or regions under the same weather system, such as a frontal passage, heat plume, or wind event.
  • Station Density Varies: Coverage is not uniform. Some countries report through very dense station networks, while others have sparser or more selective feeds, so apparent gaps do not always mean quiet weather.
  • Near Real-Time Does Not Mean Instantaneous: Reporting latency depends on the upstream national service. Some stations update quickly, while others may arrive with short delays depending on operational schedules.
  • Local Geography Matters: Elevation, coastlines, valleys, and urban heat islands can produce sharp local contrasts. A station in a mountain basin or near the sea may differ substantially from another site only a short distance away.
  • Parameter Context Matters: Temperature, precipitation, wind, and pressure each tell a different part of the story. The most reliable interpretation usually comes from looking at several variables together rather than a single map layer in isolation.

What EuroMeteo Is Best For

This explorer is best for following current weather structure across Europe: identifying where rain is advancing, where pressure gradients are tightening, where wind strengthens across transport corridors, or where unusually warm or cold air is concentrated. It is less suitable for century-scale trend analysis or long-baseline climatology, which are better served by historical archives such as GHCNh Explorer, GHCNm, or national long-term datasets like DWD, Météo-France, and IMGW.

Data Source: MeteoGate Observations

This service specifically utilizes the Observations API from MeteoGate (observations.meteogate.eu), which provides land-based surface observations. Please note that data is available from 5 March 2026 to present.

WIS 2.0 Integration

MeteoGate is a key component of the WMO Information System 2.0 (WIS 2.0), ensuring that meteorological data is discoverable, accessible, and interoperable across borders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EuroMeteo?

EuroMeteo Explorer is an independent web application that visualizes near real-time meteorological observations from across Europe. It uses data provided by the MeteoGate platform, which aggregates feeds from National Meteorological Services using the modern WIS 2.0 and E-SOH standards.

What kind of European weather data can I find here?

The dashboard provides access to high-resolution ground station measurements including air temperature, precipitation amounts, wind speed and direction, and sea-level air pressure from thousands of European stations.

How often is the data updated?

EuroMeteo is designed for near real-time observations. Actual latency depends on the reporting schedule of each national service and the availability of the upstream MeteoGate feed.

Can I download the real-time observations?

Yes. After selecting a station on the interactive map, you can navigate to the Data tab in the dashboard to view the raw numeric measurements and copy them for your own analysis.
