Current conditions and a 60-hour high-resolution forecast for Vienna, drawn live from Austria's national weather service.
Real measurements · TAWES station network · updated every 10 minutes (dataset tawes-v1-10min)
AROME model · 2.5 km grid · re-run every 3 hours · 60 hours ahead (dataset nwp-v1-1h-2500m, prerelease)
Whatever the model exposes — each panel shows the API's own name, unit, the next value, the 60-hour range, and a trend line.
This page talks to the GeoSphere Austria Data Hub API — the open data service of Austria's national weather, climate and geophysics institute (the former ZAMG, founded 1851, whose headquarters and historic observatory are at Hohe Warte in Vienna). No account or key is needed; everything is public.
Two separate datasets feed this dashboard:
Live readings from a real automatic weather station (TAWES = Teilautomatische Wetterstationen). The values refresh every 10 minutes. You can switch between Vienna stations with the selector at the top; the default is Hohe Warte (station id 11035). The "feels like" figure is the only computed number — an apparent-temperature estimate from temperature, humidity and wind.
AROME (Application of Research to Operations at MEsoscale) is a high-resolution numerical weather model on a 2.5 km grid covering the greater Alpine area. GeoSphere re-runs it every 3 hours and publishes 60 hours of hourly forecast. This page extracts the forecast at the chosen station's coordinates. Because GeoSphere marks the forecast service as prerelease (its parameter list may change), the page asks the API which parameters currently exist and then shows them all — so it stays accurate on its own.
Times are shown in Vienna local time. Wind appears in m/s with km/h beside it. Forecast temperatures reported in Kelvin are converted to °C. Anything the API returns as empty shows as “—”.
The station reports far more than is shown above; these are the ones this dashboard requests. Codes are the API's German parameter names.
| Code | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| TL | Air temperature at 2 m (current 10-min value) | °C |
| TLMAX / TLMIN | Highest / lowest air temperature within the last 10 min | °C |
| TS | Air temperature very close to the ground (5 cm) | °C |
| TP | Dew point — temperature at which the air would saturate | °C |
| RF | Relative humidity | % |
| P | Air pressure measured at the station's altitude | hPa |
| PRED | Pressure reduced to mean sea level (comparable between places) | hPa |
| FF | Wind speed, 10-minute mean | m/s |
| FFAM | Arithmetic-mean wind speed over 10 min | m/s |
| FFX | Wind gust — strongest gust in the last 10 min | m/s |
| DD | Wind direction — the compass direction the wind blows from | ° |
| RR | Precipitation total over the last 10 min | mm |
| GLOW | Global (solar) radiation reaching the ground | W/m² |
| SO | Sunshine duration in the last 10 min (max 600 s) | s |
| SCHNEE | Total snow depth on the ground | cm |
| TB1 / TB2 / TB3 | Soil temperature at 10 / 20 / 50 cm depth | °C |
Not every station measures every parameter (e.g. radiation, sunshine or snow may be absent); those simply show “—”. Forecast parameters are documented inline on each panel in section 03, using the names and units the model itself provides.
