These are available on the homepage under ‘Current weather’ as a map or table view.

These are available via our portal. The link can be found on the start page below the ‘Current weather’ map tile (forecast map, precipitation, satellite images).

We are currently working on developing a new climate portal to meet the requirements for this important topic. However, this will still take some time. Until then, we want to keep climate monitoring available on the ZAMG website. Even though a large part of the old website will no longer exist, you should still be able to access the climate monitoring at https://www.zamg.ac.at/cms/de/klima/klima-aktuell/klimamonitoring/ until the new portal has gone online.

You can find the climate reports in our news section under the heading ‘News and Events’.

The INCA portal has also been revised and can be found at this address: Weather portal © GeoSphere Austria There you will find various forecast maps and also the precipitation map for snow depth in Austria. The link can also be found on the start page under the map tile ‘Current weather’ (forecast maps, satellite images etc.).

This is currently only available on the ZAMG website because the transfer to the new website has not yet been completed. This service will remain available on the ZAMG website and will probably be located on www.geosphere.at under the heading ‘Maps’ as soon as this service has been transferred.

The weather forecast on the homepage also includes the mountain weather forecast for Austria and the federal states. To do this, select the desired federal state in the selection window at the top right of the map. However, the altitude profiles from the ZAMG website are no longer available.

This service will no longer be available on www.geosphere.at. Alternatively, there are a number of providers who continue to offer this service.

The ‘Weather forecast’ can be found as a map or table view on our homepage and under the ‘Maps’ section. You can select a federal state on the right above the map. If you zoom into the map (with +/- at the bottom right or with the ‘Ctrl’ key + the scroll wheel on the mouse) you will see additional places on the map depending on the zoom factor (all state and district capitals appear here). Use the left mouse button to move the section and click on the Austria symbol at the bottom right to switch back to the federal state view. You can click through the preview days on the bar below the map.

You can click on the individual towns and you will then receive a graphically prepared detailed forecast for the selected town for the current day and the next 7 days. You can search for and select further locations (all municipalities in Austria) using the location search on the right above the map (here you can query all municipalities in Austria).

Under the heading ‘Maps’ in the ‘Current weather’ section you will find the current measured values of the semi-automatic stations as a map or table view. The following weather parameters are available there: Temperature, precipitation, wind (speed, wind direction, wind peaks), sunshine duration, relative humidity and non-reduced air pressure.

When you select a weather station, you will see a graph of the selected parameter. You can then change this graph in the bottom left-hand area of the graph and display it as ‘10 minute values’, ‘hourly values’, ‘daily values’ or ‘monthly values’.

This data can be obtained via the Data Hub.

The online shop is no longer available. You can find out more about ordering in the ‘Maps and books’ service.
