HRT METEO

About HRT METEO Android App

A unique application that enables the monitoring of measurements and observations from the official meteorological stations of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia (DHMZ), as well as most other European meteorological services, according to World Meteorological Organization standards. The application also provides radar precipitation images and prognoses of DHMZ experts, which until now were only available on Croatian radio and television programs, as well as Croatian Auto Club (HAK) traffic information, including live video streaming from most Croatian regions.

Unlike virtually all other similar applications, where prognoses are the result of a computer calculated numerical weather forecast of one atmospheric model, HRT METEO's experienced and highly educated meteorologists make their prognoses on the basis of an analysis of current weather conditions and hundreds of calculations for various atmospheric models, providing their forecast of future atmospheric conditions and conditions at sea for regions and urban areas. They also provide severe weather warnings, which appear on the app within minutes of the meteorologist's forecast for the DHMZ.

HRT METEO contains:

The latest available measurements from official DHMZ meteorological stations closest to the sought after areas:
- air temperature (°C)
- wind speed and direction (m/s or km/h)
- air pressure reduced to sea level (hPa)
- air pressure tendency compared to the previous measurement (hPa/h)
- relative humidity (%)
- sea temperature (°C)
- amount of precipitation in the previous 12 and/or 24 hours (mm/12 or 24h)
- snow depth (cm)

The latest radar precipitation images from the DHMZ.

HAK traffic reports, including the latest images from web cameras and advice for drivers.
