We have upgraded our web service

On the left you can see the desktop view of the renewed web service, on the right the mobile version with the same content.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute's web service has been upgraded. You will continue to find us, as usual, at en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi.

We have about 330 000 visitors on our website every day. With the reform, we ensure the efficiency, speed and reliability of our site in every weather situation.

What changes with the upgrade?

  • The layout is moderately renewed – the content mostly stays in the usual, familiar places and pages.

  • The main menu operation has changed and browsing the site is therefore easier, but the structure of the site remains unchanged .

  • The service is tailored for computer, tablet and mobile devices .

  • The front page contains a wider range of newsletters, news, articles and posts .

  • Accessibility is better taken into account in both the layout and technical implementation.

Wanted features added to the local weather service

  • Possibility to get weather information based on your live location .

  • Weather warnings for land areas are visible for the following 5 days .

  • Temperature and precipitation forecasts are given for the following 15 days .

  • Gust speed is visible in the weather forecasts .

  • The link to the explanations of weather signs is more prominently displayed.

The online service reform has taken into account the results of a customer satisfaction survey conducted on the website in autumn 2019.
