The Open Data available on weather
With August coming to its end, also the summer weather is about to
leave and autum will soon arrive. While the last week of August is
treating Europe well with some (last) rays of sunlight, the weather is
about to change. All European countries also collect data about the
weather, for example to use it for scientific research, traffic
information or simply to forecast the weather itself. Many of these
countries also publish this data as Open Data, sharing the information
with others.

The data sets with metereological information come in many forms,
content and angles. For example, Luxembourg publishes the weather
condition at Luxembourg Airport in real time; a set which can
inmediately be visualised at our portal. While Ireland publishes the
rainfall measurements by its various meterological weather stations.

At the time of writing, a search query on the word 'weather' results
in 162 data sets. With data provided from nearly all European
countries, it is interesting to see how the various countries can be
compared in terms of weather. Would you like to discover these data
sets yourself? Take a look by following the link below.
