How to use the website

The homepage is the starting point of the weather portal. Here you can find the weather 'today' in South Tyrol. On the map you can see the weather symbols and below them the weather forecast in text format, which our meteorologists produce daily. Pay attention to the reliability information: this indicates the accuracy of the weather forecast.

From the homepage, you can access the South Tyrol weather with the forecast for the coming days via the 'Further developments' button.

The mountain weather in South Tyrol is shown in the overview with the forecast for today and tomorrow.

You also receive a 6-day forecast for the 7 mountain groups in the region, with current data on precipitation, wind and temperature.

The geo-referenced weather maps are new. They show the current weather situation, past measurements and upcoming forecasts.

The 'Radar, lightning and satellite' map provides a comprehensive overview of the current weather situation and is updated every five minutes. It shows precipitation, hail probability and hail size based on the radar on the Gantkofel as well as lightning discharges. In addition, a Meteosat satellite image updated every 15 minutes provides information on cloud cover.

In addition, the 'Analyses and forecasts' map visualises the parameters of precipitation, cloud cover, temperature and wind gusts in hourly resolution. Measured data and forecasts can be called up on the same map.

How to use the control bar

The weather maps have appropriate legends (depending on the parameter) as well as a zoom function, location determination and a full-screen view.

The lock symbol makes it possible 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.

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 over time can be easily tracked. You can choose between 1 and 6 FPS.

Weather stations are devices that record meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and precipitation. They consist of several sensors that continuously measure and store these values.

In South Tyrol, there are around 60 weather stations in the valley, around 40 weather stations on the mountains and around 30 so-called water level stations on the rivers. The latter measure the water level, flow rate and water temperature, among other things.

The data is updated every 15 minutes on the website.

This gives you a realistic impression of the current weather and landscape situation at all times. The webcam page serves as a visual supplement to the weather data, live radar and forecasts.

You can set your personal favourites for the webcams. These are automatically displayed on the homepage and saved for your next visits. If you delete the browser memory (cache) or the website data, your favourites will also be removed. In this case, you will have to select them again.

Most webcams are owned by the RAS and are labelled accordingly.

The Foehn diagram shows the predicted air pressure difference between Bolzano and Innsbruck in hPa, from which the expected wind conditions in the Alps can be derived. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the Föhn wind and the further it penetrates into the valleys.

• Negative values indicate a northerly foehn in South Tyrol.
• Positive values indicate south foehn on the northern side of the Alps.

The diagram is updated twice a day: at 10:00 and 22:00.

The interactive graphics show the development of the forecast maximum temperatures and daily precipitation amounts for the next ten days in the seven districts of South Tyrol. The temperature and precipitation trends are updated three times a day. Coloured markings and lines indicate the most probable development and the uncertainty ranges.
