meteoblue AG
meteoblue produces top-quality weather data – for any point on land or sea in the world. Our products range from website content and mobile apps intended for the general public, to premium subscription products designed for private users and small companies, to business solutions tailored for our business partners. meteoblue uses cutting edge science and technology to generate, display and distribute weather data. meteoblue computes proprietary high-resolution weather simulation models. Importantly, no single (also called “stand-alone” or “raw”) weather model is perfect. Depending on the weather situation, the location, the season, or even the time of day, one forecast might be more accurate than another.

About Us
That is why we take it one step further, and compute MultiModels. It is possible to imagine a MultiModel as an enhanced simulation model. To produce a MultiModel, we compare and contrast data from over 30 different weather models (both our own and 3rd party), and allow our proprietary artificial intelligence to combine them into the most likely forecast.
This is our approach to providing you with more than just raw weather and climate data. We offer the most accurate data on the market, tailored to the specific requirements of various use cases.
Early history of meteoblue – the founding story
The development of the meteoblue forecast started at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in 2002 when one of our founders, Mathias Müller, created numerical operational models for Switzerland, based on the American WRF by NOAA/NCEP, as a part of his PHD program in meteorology.
With the support of the University Computing Center, the models were displayed on the University Homepage in 2004 and quickly became popular with mountaineers, hikers and other weather enthusiasts, as well as with scientific and commercial actors, who used the offer because of its higher accuracy, 3-D availability and display (today they would sayUIX) uniqueness.
In 2006, meteoblue AG as a company was founded, with the aim of ensuring reliable operational forecasts. At this point, an independent commercial computing infrastructure and product development was established.
