History & Climate Images

Weather Archive

The weather archive diagram shows the simulated temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed and wind direction from any desired period and location.

Risk Assessment

The Risk Assessment diagrams show the probability of a specific, customisable weather event to occur, for any location on earth.

The diagrams are available for cold and warm events, precipitation, water capacity and cloud cover, and are based on more than 30 years of historical simulation data.

Cold Events

The Risk Assessment for cold events shows periods of time where the temperature is below a certain threshold for a certain time.

Meteogram Current to Climate

The meteogram Current to Climate compares weather variables of the current season to the 30 year mean climate.

Meteogram Current to Climate

Meteogram Climate Observed

The meteogram Climate Observed 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.

Example URL:

Special Parameter (mandatory):

NameUnitDescriptionExample
paramskWp, facing angle, slope anglekilowatt peak, facing, slope and angle of solar panel&params=100,180,40

Meteogram Solar Season

Meteogram Climate Wind Rose

The meteogram Climate Wind Rose shows how many hours per year the wind blows from the indicated direction. The data is accumulated from 30 years of historical weather simulation data from the global meteoblue model NEMSGLOBAL, which has a resolution of 30km.

Example SW: Wind is blowing from South-West (SW) to North-East (NE).

Meteogram Climate Comparison

The meteogram Climate Comparison 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.
