Real-Time Climate Intelligence for Data-Driven Cities
Combine IoT sensor networks with high-resolution urban climate models to map heat islands, flood risk and wind at street level. Data, forecasts and measurements are available through standardised APIs and integrate into digital twins, GIS systems and smart city platforms.
From Measurements to Actionable Climate Information
meteoblue supports cities through the whole chain: from planning the sensor network to delivering street-level climate data into the platforms your teams already use.
Plan the Measurement Network With Us
Deciding where sensors go, how many a city needs and which sites are representative is often the hardest part of a measurement project.
meteoblue supports cities from the first site survey to long-term operation, including our largest city network with more than 150 stations.
- Network design: Number of stations and network layout for your city.
- Sensor placement strategy: Representative sites for heat, green space and traffic.
- Deployment planning: Hardware, mounting and data connection.
- Validation and operation: Checks after installation, then monitoring and maintenance.
Measurements Stored, Checked and Ready to Use
Sensor measurements are ingested in real time, quality-controlled automatically and stored in a central database.
Your team accesses current and historical values through the Measurements API, without running its own data infrastructure.
- Real-time ingestion: A continuous data stream from every station.
- Automatic quality control: Implausible values and drift are flagged.
- Central database: Long-term storage of all measurements.
- Measurements API: Current and historical data for your own systems.
Urban Climate Models Validated by Local Measurements
The urban climate model covers the city at 10 m resolution. It shows conditions in places where no sensor stands.
Where local IoT stations exist, their measurements are used to validate and refine the temperature model. The result is street-level climate information you can trust across the whole city.
- Urban climate model: Complete coverage of the city at 10 m.
- Local measurements: Ground truth at each station in the network.
- Validated climate information: Street-level data and forecasts up to 7 days ahead.
- Continuous refinement: New measurements keep the temperature model up to date.
Urban Climate Layers for Every Street
The model and the measurements produce four core layers as maps and time series, with forecasts up to 7 days ahead for temperature, thermal comfort and wind.
Threshold-based alerts notify your teams by API, email or dashboard. The indicators also support funding applications, adaptation concepts and climate adaptation laws.
- Air temperature: Heat islands and cool spots at 10 m resolution.
- Thermal comfort (PET): Heat stress as people feel it, street by street.
- Wind: Speed and direction at down to 2 m resolution.
- Pluvial flood: Areas where heavy rain collects on the surface.
Urban Climate Data Ready for Smart City Platforms
Urban climate information is delivered through two APIs, so it fits into digital twins, GIS software, operational dashboards and municipal applications.
Maps are available for the current time or a chosen point in time, so dashboards and planning tools always work with up-to-date data.
- City Climate API: Heat, thermal comfort (PET), wind and pluvial flood maps for your city.
- Measurements API: Current and historical observations from your sensor network.
- Standard formats: GeoTIFF for GIS and images for web and dashboards.
End-to-End Urban Climate Intelligence
Hyperlocal Forecasts and Alerts
Dense sensor observations and high-resolution models provide street-level predictions of temperature, wind and rainfall. Threshold-based alerts activate when conditions exceed set limits and reach your teams by API, email or dashboard.
Integration into Digital Twins and Smart City Dashboards
Our APIs and data formats are compatible with smart city software, GIS systems, and planning dashboards.
Climate Data Decision-Makers Can Act On
We translate complex high-resolution climate data into ready-to-use outputs, empowering smart city decision makers to act.

Stations in our largest city climate network
meteoblue offers us flexible solutions and has worked with us to establish a long-term measurement network that provides accurate measurements and quality-assured real-time data. This data gives us important insights into temperature trends in the city. This enables us to take targeted measures to promote the well-being and quality of life of our population.
