Data is updated every 5 to 60 minutes, depending on the product.

The Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) Meteorological Service is also providing forecasts and observations, including data on solar activity. Recent reports from the Aeronautica Militare highlighted a period of intense solar activity in early February, with five powerful flares recorded. The Air Force’s mobile app provides hourly forecasts, aeronautical METAR and TAF reports for airports worldwide, and radar imagery enhanced by artificial intelligence.

The Civil Protection Department’s radar platform also provides data on temperature and cloud cover, utilizing information from ground-based thermometers and satellite imagery. The platform was updated on January 12th, 2026, and users of the API services are advised to update their systems accordingly.
