Our History

meteoblue originated at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in 2002, when our co-founder Mathias Müller developed high-resolution numerical weather models. In 2004, these models were made available online and quickly gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and professionals seeking precise forecasts.

In 2006, meteoblue AG was founded, establishing independent computing infrastructure and commercial services. Over the years, meteoblue has continuously set new standards in weather forecasting, introducing groundbreaking technologies that have redefined how meteorological data is utilised across industries. Among these advancements is the MultiModel approach—an innovative forecasting method that combines data from over 40 different weather models, using artificial intelligence to generate the most reliable predictions available. By developing proprietary solutions that enhance accuracy and accessibility, we have shaped the way users interact with weather information globally.

In 2024, meteoblue entered a new chapter when Windyty, S.E. acquired a majority stake, ensuring continued growth and innovation in weather data services.
