HRT METEO

This unique application makes it possible to monitor measurements and observations from official meteorological stations of National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) in keeping with the standards of the World Meteorological Organization, as well as DHMZ forecasts of that have so far been available only on local stations of the Croatian Radio and in weather related shows aired on the Croatian Radiotelevision.

A report from the Croatian Auto Club (HAK) has also been added, along with the images from its cameras in most Croatian regions.

Unlike almost all other similar applications, where forecasts are based on computer calculations of one atmospheric model, on HRT Meteo qualified meteorologists - forecasters with long-standing experience daily analyze data on present weather as well as forecasts based on around one hundred calculations of different atmospheric models, giving their local and regional estimates of future states of the atmosphere and sea. These include not only forecasts but also severe weather warnings that are displayed on the application only minutes after a DHMZ meteorologist has written them.

The possibility of an error has been reduced because forecasts for over two days ahead are done for a region, not a location. Forecasts for today and tomorrow are issued for 55 locations in Croatia, and forecasts for the day after tomorrow and two subsequent days for eight larger regions: central, eastern and Mountainous Croatia, inland Istria and Dalmatia, northern, central and southern Adriatic. For the two following days - the fifth and sixth from the day on which the forecast is issued - the most likely weather outlooks are given: a prediction of dominant or significant weather, of wind, as needed, as well as the lowest and highest daily temperatures, separately for the entire inland and for Coastal Croatia.

HRT Meteo encompasses:

The latest measurements taken from the DHMZ meteorological stations closest to the requested location:

- wind direction and speed (m/s)

- air pressure at sea level (hPa)

- pressure tendency in relation to the last measurement (hPa/h)

- relative air humidity (%)

- sea temperature (°C)

- precipitation in the last 12 and/or 24 hours (mm/12 or 24h)

- snow depth (cm).
