weather warnings and their importance

The Storm Warning Center provides continuous information about the upcoming meteorological conditions. It is pointed out that thunderstorms have the opportunity to spread to the flat and hills, while the western Danube room, the outermost south and southeast could be spared from the thunderstorms. The current humidity is to be classified as a muggy, with dew point temperatures between 15 and 19 degrees.

weather warnings like this are of great importance, not only for everyday use, but also for the planning of events and agricultural activities. The Geosphere Austria creates precisely weather forecasts around the clock and is able to deliver precise forecasts due to its extensive databases and high -performance calculators. These include the use of weather balloons, radar and satellite data as well as the evaluation by experienced meteorologists.

meteorological cooperation and technology

The weather forecasts are optimized by combining global measurements with high -performance computers. The recently installed Supercomputer HPE Cray-XD2000 does up to 870 billion arithmetic operations per second and is used, among other things, for extreme weather forecast. Through close cooperation with national and international partners, such as the European Center for Medium -term weather forecast, Geosphere can constantly improve the accuracy of their predictions.

The current weather warnings are available online and offer tailor -made information for crisis management and operational organizations. The aim of these warnings is to inform the population in good time and to give recommendations for action to minimize damage.
