Our database Meteonorm produces accurate and representative typical years for every location on the planet. You can choose from over 30 different meteorological parameters. The database consists of more than 8 000 weather stations, five geostationary satellites and a globally calibrated aeroosol climatology. Sophisticated interpolation models based on more than 30 years of expertise provide high accuracy results worldwide.
Meteonorm is a global standard and powerful tool for planning applications in solar energy, building design, heating and cooling systems, education, agriculture and forestry, and many more. Find out more on the Meteonorm website.
The Meteonorm Web Service is based on the same calculation core and the same weather data as Meteonorm Software Version 7.3. The call of a typical year takes place via input of geographical coordinates. All Meteonorm parameters can be returned in monthly and hourly resolution. Output is available in different formats like JSON, XML or CSV. This allows the Meteonorm data to be integrated online into any type of web application, simulation software, building design software or building information modeling application.
In addition to the Meteonorm Web Service, the Meteonorm Plug-In (DLL) provides another possibility to integrate Meteonorm data directly into your software.
