Analyses and forecasts

The map shows the parameters precipitation, cloud cover, temperature and wind gusts in hourly resolution. The data from the past is based on the INCA analysis and nowcasting system from GeoSphere Austria. The forecast maps originate from the numerical weather forecast model ICON-CH1 of MeteoSwiss.

How to use the weather maps

The interactive weather maps show the geo-referenced data for specific parameters: Precipitation, cloud cover, temperature, wind, lightning and hail in the summer months. There is a legend for each parameter so that you can read and interpret the data correctly.

The functions of the maps:

  • Zoom;
  • Location determination;
  • Full-screen view;
  • Icon South Tyrol to reset extend; 

The speed (FPS) shows how fast the animation of the map is played. 2 FPS means that two images are displayed per second. This ensures a slower, clearer display so that changes can be easily tracked over time. You can choose between 1 and 6 FPS.

You can stop or play the animation using the play or pause button.

The lock symbol allows you to lock the map area so that the zoom, displayed area and the same time period remain unchanged. This function applies to both analysis data and forecasts and allows you to easily compare different layers or points in time without changing the display.

You can activate automatic updating during navigation: New images and current data are automatically loaded every 5 minutes so that you always have access to the latest data.
