• Real-time weather data calculation when zooming or changing views
• Points, lines, and areas of interest can be color-coded based on user-defined thresholds (e.g., red if temperature < 0 degrees)
• Various maps available, including topographic maps, border maps, aeronautical maps, and more
• Clear display of up to six maps on one screen
• Various setting options, e.g., color saturation
• Accurate data visualization even over large areas, including global view
• High granular resolution of 90 meters based on the NASA terrain model, with measurement points calculated every 90 meters and scaled accordingly
• Minute-by-minute temporal resolution
• Data export available for each point on the map
• Customized solutions available upon request

Your Benefits

Accelerate your workflow: Work with one single browser tab, visualize and analyze all data from over 110 sources at once in one platform.

• Save time and money, make better decisions faster
• No need to install any software, have a storage solution, or use additional data sources
• Enhance your confidence in operational forecasts and work effectively under pressure
• Communicate easily with diverse stakeholders thanks to dynamic and intuitive weather maps

Navigation

We keep the navigation in MetX simple and clear. You can create different profiles and access various functions via buttons, including:

• Creating new maps or diagrams
• Selecting weather layers
• Entering weather parameters
• Exploring different views
• Importing and exporting data
• Accessing account information
• Saving your work

Time Navigation

At the bottom of the weather map, you have the flexibility to customize the time period for weather animations.

Most weather layers in our tool can be adjusted backward or forward in time, and you can even select a specific date.

Location Selection

A search function is available to find locations using specific addresses or longitude and latitude coordinates.

Layers

The weather layer overview enables you to integrate weather information from various sources into the weather map or chart. You can add diverse layers, such as:

• Color charts
• Grids
• Isolines
• WW code
• Weather symbols
• Wind and wave directions
• Station data
• Points of interest
• Aviation data
• Pressure systems
• Lightning data
• Tropical cyclones data

Each layer comes with its own range of customization options. Once a weather layer is included, you can easily rearrange the layer order through a simple drag-and-drop process, allowing you to position layers as needed.

Animations

Weather animations illustrate the progression of weather conditions during a defined time frame.

In MetX, these animations are dynamically computed in real-time, displaying the most up-to-date weather information.

You can fine-tune the animation's duration to your preferences, adjusting parameters such as the start and end times, time zone, interval, and frames per second.

Import/Export

MetX offers the option to import or export saved weather profiles, images and videos.

You can export weather data based on your customized settings, combining individual layers with a single click, or choose to export created diagrams.

Additionally, animated weather maps can be saved as videos in your preferred format.

• Europe: A high-pressure system is situated over southern Norway, resulting in calm weather conditions. However, the first low-pressure systems are affecting the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula, bringing unsettled weather.
• North America: The northeastern US states are experiencing cold temperatures due to the influence of an approaching high-pressure system. Meanwhile, a low-pressure area near California is causing snowfall in lower elevations.

• Africa: A tropical depression located over the West Indies is causing rainfall in northern Madagascar and along the southeastern African coastline. Additionally, the foothills of a low-pressure system over Spain are bringing rainfall to northern Morocco and Algeria.
• Australia: The states of Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland are currently experiencing widespread hot temperatures. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure is responsible for bringing rainfall to areas like Adelaide and South East Queensland.

Zephyr, a project by Airbus Defence and Space, aims to offer advanced observation, sensing, and connectivity capabilities for commercial, institutional, and military users.

The synergy between the Meteomatics Weather API's data and MetX's visualization capabilities and Airbus-designed tools results in the most advanced suite of weather forecasting systems, ensuring the safe navigation of Zephyr into the stratosphere.
