Upgrade to our web service
The Finnish Meteorological Institute's web service has been upgraded. With the reform, we ensure the efficiency, speed and reliability of our site in every weather situation. You will continue to find us, as usual, at en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi.
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.
