Jablíčkář The Czech application Ventusky for visualizing meteorological data further expands the amount of information offeredmací. The latest innovation is the extended radar image forecast. Ventusky now provides forecasts for several hours in advance. The forecast is based on several high-resolution numerical models and is updated every hour. The 120-minute forecast is created by a neural network and updated every 10 minutes. The current state, from which both the neural network and numerical models are based, is captured directly by ground radars and thus corresponds to the actual state. By combining various approaches and data, the radar image forecast achieves high accuracy. It is thus possible to follow the exact progress of showers or storms on the maps and find out when rain will arrive in a given area. The radar forecast is also available for the whole world (in high resolution it covers Europe and North America).
Ventusky has not been the only new product in recent months. In April, a well-known numerical model was added ECMWF extension or a regional model for France AROME. Also new are the maps showing the moon precipitation deviations, which can help in drought detection. The transition to new, more powerful servers during April also helped to significantly expand services and data loading speed. Year-on-year attendance at Ventusky has doubled. Visitors especially appreciate the high accuracy of the data and its quantity.
