Welcome to the MetGIS Tile Map Service Demo!
The MetGIS Maps API is based on a Tile Map Service (TMS). It gives access to high quality weather forecasts in form of layered prediction maps, zoomable to horizontal resolutions of less than 100 m (an international novelty!).
This webpage provides an interactive TMS-based forecast example, focusing on an interesting weather situation in January 2015.
For more information about the use of the API go here: MetGIS Maps API (German version, English version)The API allows business customers the quick integration of high resolution MetGIS forecast data into their own websites and apps, in graphical or numerical form.
Weather predictions may be visualized according to individual wishes and requirements, in combination with other information and the customer’s favorite geographic background. The inclusion of precise and zoomable weather information increases the traffic of webpages and thus boosts the operator’s profits.
The API is of great interest to operators of geographic information platforms of any kind, especially if related to the mountains (outdoor and touring portals, etc.).
It may also be of high relevance to the tourist industry, to traffic operation centers, agricultural enterprises, insurance companies, online journals etc.
The weather forecast maps are updated daily and include predictions for the next 72 hours in time intervals of three hours. They are available world-wide.
The predictions are calculated by innovative MetGIS algorithms, applied on the output of numerical weather prediction models. The same techniques are also used to produce our proven fixed-size standard forecast maps.
Integration of our weather forecast data into your own application is fast and easy. Please check the documentation for more information.
