MetGIS Forecast Maps

You may use web-based MetGIS forecast maps on www.metgis.com/map in three different versions. For a detailed comparison of these products, please click here. The versions are characterized by different levels of functionality and information content:

  • MetGIS Light: This free “trial version“ offers a limited amount of information and provides a first glimpse into the world of MetGIS. In this mode only a restricted number of forecast regions are available.
  • MetGIS Basic: Forecast maps of this version contain a number of highly useful additional features, for example 7-day predictions and the display of meteorological data for every single map point. These forecasts may only be ordered by private users (exceptions exist!) in our MetGIS webshop.
  • MetGIS Pro: This version for business customers features maximum functionality and offers individualized solutions. If you are interested in it, please contact us directly.

For easier navigation within these three versions on this website, a special color guiding system has been developed. Please here for more information.

Access to our Forecasts:

All MetGIS forecast maps can be viewed via our website www.metgis.com/map. If you have registered for MetGIS Basic or MetGIS Pro, please log in with your access data. In case you do not hold a valid password, you may still use the forecast maps available in MetGIS Light, which are free of charge.
