Weather – Offenbach am Main:User reports in “WarnWetter-App” are accessible to everyone
Directly from the dpa news channel
Offenbach (dpa / lhe) – The user reports in the “WarnWetter-App” of the German Weather Service (DWD) are now no longer only available for the DWD internally, but for all users. The app has already received over two million messages from users about weather incidents such as heavy rain since July 2020, as the DWD announced in Offenbach on Tuesday.
The messages from citizens from the “WarnWetter-App” have been helping the weather service since last year to obtain information in real time in the event of severe storms or from regions without sufficient measuring infrastructure. The release of the private reports is now a further measure within the framework of the “open data strategy” of the federal government. However, the user reports are only accessible in the paid version of the app.
