The first graph shows the overall conditions as icons, as well as a line showing the temperature over the course of the day. In the event of precipitation, blue bars at the bottom of the graph will also show how much precipitation falls per hour. You can see what kind of precipitation this is by comparing it to the icons.

The second graph includes a dark blue line, showing the average wind speed for each three hours interval, and a light blue line showing the maximum wind speed (the gust) within the same interval. The arrows at the top of the graph show the average direction of the wind.

On the light blue bar immediately under the map, you can swipe left and right to select any of the next seven days. A light blue line shows which day is currently selected.

9. How do I use the Map tab?

The Map tab allows you to navigate using a 2D map to any location of interest. It is useful for getting a feel of the weather conditions in a general area. You can choose to view precipitation (rain, snow, hail) or temperature by selecting the corresponding icon in the top-left. In the top-right you can click the ruler icon to show a color scale.

10. What is the difference between wind speed and wind gusts?

Wind speed is the average over the period of interest (three hours); the gust speed is the speed of the maximum gust during the same period.

The accuracy of the data in the Meteomatics Weather App is of utmost importance to us. Our app utilizes advanced algorithms and technology to provide the most reliable weather information available.

Weather conditions can change rapidly, and localized variations can occur.

19. Why is the radar forecast only for the next two hours?

Radar is an observation which involves firing beams of radio waves into the air and measuring the reflectivity of the beam along its path. It can only be used to observe the current conditions, and these can only be extrapolated into reliable predictions for a short-range forecast. After two hours, our weather models take over.

20. How can I allow/disable the use of my current location within the app?

On Android devices, open your Settings app and navigate to Location > App permissions. Find the Meteomatics Weather App in your list of apps and select it to view and edit the location settings.
