Weather warnings — official alerts at a glance
When storms, heavy rain, thunderstorms, heat or snow turn dangerous, the national weather services issue official warnings. On meteo365.es we bring these warnings from many countries together on one map — with consistent colours, from yellow to red.
OfficialWhat a weather warning is
A weather warning is an official notice from a national weather service that dangerous weather is expected in a specific area — such as storms, heavy rain, thunderstorms, snow, ice, heat or cold. It states where, when and how severe.
Important: these warnings do not come from us, but from the responsible authorities. We collect them, present them consistently and show the issuer and the time of issue for every warning. The authoritative version is always the publication of the respective weather service.
The warning levelsYellow, orange, red — what the colours mean
So that warnings from many countries stay comparable, we use a consistent colour scheme following the European MeteoAlarm standard:
Yellow — The weather can be dangerous; usually manageable in everyday life. Be aware.
Orange — Dangerous weather; damage and disruption are possible. Be prepared.
Red — Very dangerous weather; major damage is likely. Take action and follow the instructions of the authorities.
Where no warning applies, the area stays neutral.
The sourcesWhere the warnings come from
For Europe we aggregate the warnings via MeteoAlarm, the joint warning portal of the European weather services (the EUMETNET network). For Spain we additionally fetch the warnings directly from AEMET — that is where they are fastest and most finely resolved.
Outside Europe the warnings come from the US weather service NWS and, worldwide, via the Severe Weather Information Centre of the WMO (World Meteorological Organization). This lets you see warnings for many countries in a single view. A full list of sources is on the data sources page.
Coverage & timelinessWhat is covered — and how current
We update the warnings about every 10 minutes. Regions with an active warning appear in the warning colour, quiet regions stay neutral. Tap a region to see the exact warning with text, time span and issuer.
Not every country in the world is connected. Areas without a data feed are deliberately not shown as “warned or not warned” — grey therefore means “outside our coverage”, not “no danger”. That way no false sense of safety is created.
What this map does — and what it doesn't
Honest is honestOur warning map is an overview, not a substitute for the official warning services. In an emergency, the official warning of your national weather service and the instructions of civil protection always apply.
- The source is official: we reproduce the warnings of the weather services, we do not create them ourselves.
- Colour = level, not detail: the exact wording, time and reasoning are in the individual warning — tap a region.
- Grey does not mean “safe”: grey means we have no warning data for that area.
