Europe

Note: Weather is a commercial commodity in Europe, hence model fields, satellite imagery, soundings, and analyses are NOT publically available. We do hope that the EC assumes a more open stance on these data. After all, the tax-paying public shouldn’t have to pay twice. In the meantime, here are some useful links:

observations and forecasts (image and animation) for all models (mesoscale to medium range) * STAR site

• Universities, institutions: many links here, the best ones are:
• weather in the UK, by Roger Brugge
• European weather charts (surface, upper air, satellite, current and archive), from the Free University of Berlin
• Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI)
• soundings, from the University of Wyoming
  
  
• Commercial
• Observations, satellite, radar, and NWP model output for western Europe, from an Italian group
• the weather underground in Europe (all stations, all official forecasts)
• European city forecasts, from Intellicom
• weather in Germany, from Wetteronline
• weather in the Netherlands, from Meteofax
• weather in France, from MeteoFrance
• weather in Austria, from ZAMG
• min/max temp and observed precipitation for Europe, from Freese-Notis
  
  
• satellite
• Meteosat and NOAA polar orbiting, from Westwind, Switzerland
• NOAA-11/12 (Europe), from University of Dundee
• Meteosat, from the Free Univ of Berlin
