HRT METEO 4.3.3

A unique application that allows 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, in accordance with World Meteorological Organization standards. The application also offers radar precipitation images and forecasts from DHMZ experts, previously only accessible through Croatian radio and television broadcasts, along with Croatian Auto Club (HAK) traffic updates, including live video streams from various regions in Croatia.

Unlike many other similar applications where forecasts are based on computer-generated numerical weather predictions from a single atmospheric model, HRT METEO's seasoned and highly educated meteorologists formulate their forecasts by analyzing current weather conditions and conducting numerous calculations using various atmospheric models. This approach enables them to provide forecasts for future atmospheric and marine conditions in different regions and urban areas. Additionally, the app delivers prompt severe weather alerts shortly after the meteorologists' predictions for the DHMZ.

HRT METEO features:

• The most recent measurements from official DHMZ meteorological stations located near the specified areas:
  • air temperature (°C)

  • comparison of air pressure with the previous measurement (hPa/h)
  • relative humidity (%)
  • sea temperature (°C)
  • precipitation amount in the last 12 and/or 24 hours (mm/12 or 24h)
  • snow depth (cm)
• The latest radar precipitation images from DHMZ.
• HAK traffic updates, including recent webcam images and driver advice.
