Weather History - Risk Assessment
The Weather History - Risk Assessment diagrams show the probability of a specific, customisable weather event to occur for any location on Earth. The analysis is based on data since 1940. It is delivered as highcharts json and can be implemented as iframe to enable mouse-hover lines and zooming.
The diagrams are available for the following events:
| Event name | Description | Sample | Threshold parameters with sample | Default threshold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold event | Analyses events with temperatures below a defined temperature threshold | &event=cold_event | Minimum temperature threshold: &threshold=0 Event duration for defined event in hours: &duration=4 | <0°C for >1h/day |
| Warm event | Analyses events with temperatures above a defined temperature threshold | &event=warm_event | Maximum temperature threshold: &threshold=40 Event duration for defined event in hours: &duration=4 | >0°C for >1h/day |
| Precipitation event | Analyses precipitation events | &event=precipitation_event | Precipitation amount threshold in amount/week: &threshold=50 | >0mm/week |
| Water capacity | Analyses maximum available soil water capacities | &event=soil_water_event | Maximum available soil water capacity in mm: &threshold=100 | 0mm |
| Cloud cover event | Analyses cloud cover events below a defined coverage threshold | &event=cloud_cover_event | Minimum cloud cover in %: &threshold:50 | <0% |
| Wind speed | Analyses events with wind speeds above a defined threshold | &event=wind_speed_event | Maximum wind speed threshold: &threshold=100 Event duration for defined event in hours: &duration=4 | >0km/h for >1h/day |
| Wind gust | Analyses events with wind gusts above a defined threshold | &event=wind_gust_event | Maximum wind speed threshold: &threshold=100 Event duration for defined event in hours: &duration=4 | >0km/h for >1h/day |
Weather Variable Units
The risk assessments support all common units as specified in the table below. The desired unit can be defined in the API request. If it is not defined, data will be delivered in the default unit.
| Weather Variable | Example | Default | Available units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | &temperature_units=C | °C | C, F |
| Wind speed | &windspeed_units=bft | m/s | km/h, km/h, mph, kn, bft |
| Precipitation | &precipitation_units=mm | mm | mm, inch |
The API supports the following weather models:
- ERA5T re-analysis model with data since 1949:
&domain=era5t - NEMSGLOBAL weather model with data since 1985:
&domain=nemsglobal
The diagram can be retrived in several languages (lang=en): ar, bg, cs, de, el, en, es, fr, hr, hu, it, ka, nl, pl, pt, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, tr, uk
Climate Comparison Diagram - History
The Climate Comparison Diagram - History compares weather variables of the current season to the 30 year mean climate.

Climate Observed - Diagram
The Climate Observed - Diagram shows the annual course of temperature, precipitation amount and rainy days, as well as wind measurements from the closest weather station. The weather variables shown depend on the availability of complete and consistent measurements from measurement stations and are aggregated on a weekly or monthly basis.

Climate Comparison Diagram - Forecast
The Climate Comparison Diagram - Forecast shows the expected weather, compared to the weather of the previous 10 or more years. Thereby, you can see how "normal" the current weather is compared to the climate of this location.
