City climate

  • Take advantage of the most modern, economical, and proven approach to city climate assessment and climate change adaptation
  • Develop infrastructure to precisely measure, forecast, and model your city’s climate
  • Create a reliable information basis for city planners, decision makers, and the citizens
  • Improve the city’s living conditions and investment effectiveness
  • Enable your city to better deal with the challenges posed by climate change

City inhabitants are often exposed to high temperatures and poor air quality. Recently, they have also had to bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change. Moreover, in the future, municipalities will have to cope with more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as excessive temperatures, heavy precipitation, or violent storms. Since half of the world's population lives in urban areas, systematic monitoring of the city climate and strategic city planning is essential.

meteoblue city climate monitoring helps cities lay the groundwork today for a safer tomorrow. It comprises a package of solutions tailored for modern smart cities, addressing all stages of climate change mitigation policy: measurement, assessment, climate simulations, mitigation strategy development and implementation, and subsequent reevaluation.
