v1.25 2,000 towns
Latest
- Weather by town grows from 500 to 2,000 towns: it now reaches places from about 2,500 people, with the same fast page as before.
What's new
What has changed in METEO / Atlas, version by version, newest first. Only what you notice when you use it, one line per change.
v1.24 Tomorrow at a glance
- The simple view now opens with today and tomorrow side by side: high and low, millimetres of rain and its chance, gusts in km/h, and the day split into early hours, morning, afternoon and night.
- Seven days instead of four, with each day's rain in millimetres (even small amounts) and the total for the whole week.
- Less on screen: quick questions, air, best time, Google AI, beach and mountain, past years and your commute are now together under "More".
v1.23 The Sage, easy mode hour by hour and your town in three languages
- New in 1.23.7: sharper highs and lows. We compared thousands of days of weather-station data with the models, and nearly all of them come out a little low at midday and a little high at night (by about one degree). We now correct this every day using what was measured over the last few weeks, and the chance of rain worked out by counting models is also adjusted to how often it really rains. Warning-zone names are now spelled correctly too.
- New in 1.23.2: What will the season be like?: whether the next three months look warmer or colder, drier or wetter than normal in 11 regions of Spain, how many of the European Centre's (ECMWF) 51 scenarios say so and how accurate this kind of forecast really is (not very, and we explain why). Take a look (in Spanish).
- 🧙 The Sage says…: in the simple view, an artificial intelligence (Claude) reads our data and talks you through it: whether the models agree, what Google's AI says and what you should take with you. Every figure it writes is checked against our data before it is shown.
- Easy mode: now also “The next hours”, in three-hour blocks (“this afternoon”, “tonight”…) with rain described in words. It is read aloud too.
- Your town's weather, now also in Catalan and English, with an image of today's weather when you share the link on WhatsApp or social media. Find yours.
v1.22 Your trip, your event and why it went wrong
- My trip: save your way from home to work (on foot, by bike, motorbike or car) and we warn you shortly before you leave, only if it will rain, blow hard or freeze along the way.
- Weather for your event: create a page for your wedding, race or party with a countdown, a forecast that sharpens as the day nears, a traffic light and plan B, and share it with your guests. Create yours.
- Why it went wrong: when the forecast misses badly, we explain it with the data, including when the Atlas Forecast misses (in Spanish). Latest cases.
v1.21 The model league
- Telegram channel: every morning, today's weather in Spain explained region by region, with AEMET's official warnings, and on Mondays, which model was most accurate (in Spanish). Follow it.
- The model league: which model is most accurate in your province? A 30-day ranking, updated daily, for all 52 provinces (in Spanish). See yours.
- Google's AI starts being measured: from today we store its forecast every day in every province, and in a few weeks it will join the league.
v1.20 Your town, your route, the beach and history
- Improved in 1.20.1: on mobile, the simple view uses less data, because the map (the heaviest part) only downloads when you reach it.
- Weather pages for 500 Spanish towns: search for “weather in Mataró” and you'll land on a fast page with the weather now, the next hours and the next days (in Spanish). All at /tiempo/.
- When is best for…? Pick running, cycling, washing, watering, beach, barbecue or a walk and we'll tell you the best slot in the next 48 hours and why.
- Beach and mountain: on the coast, waves, water temperature and wind; up high, snow level, summit wind and the risk of afternoon storms.
- Your route: upload a GPX and see the weather on each stretch at the time you pass, with a map coloured by risk. The file never leaves your device. Try it.
- Pollen and air alerts: in the quick alerts, “🤧 …if there's a lot of pollen tomorrow” and “😷 …if the air will be poor tomorrow”. We let you know the evening before.
- What the weather was like: heat, cold and rain records for this day since 1995, the odd anniversary (“12 years ago today…”) and any date since 1940.
v1.19 The next hours and Google's AI
- Next hours: in the simple view, hour by hour for the next 24 hours, with the sky, temperature and chance of rain. Now, the next hours and the next days at a glance.
- What about Google's AI? Below the next days you can compare what the six models say with WeatherNext 2, Google DeepMind's artificial intelligence model: midday temperature and rain for each day.
- Fixed in 1.19.1: on some Android phones the page looked very small. The header now fits narrow screens, the map layers sit in a single row, and the cookie notice and the guided tour no longer appear at the same time.
v1.18 The weekend, weather for your website and easy mode
- The weekend: if you like, on Thursday evening your phone gets the weather for Saturday and Sunday for up to 3 of your places, with warnings and when it will rain.
- Easy mode: very large text, high contrast, a button to hear it read aloud and "Will it rain?" answered with yes, maybe or no. Try it at /panel?vista=facil.
- Weather for your website: a free, cookie-free box with the weather for your town, AEMET warnings and the radar, for council, media, club or school websites.
- For councils and civil protection: a traffic light for each critical spot (streams, flood-prone crossings, forest areas…) for today and the next 3 days, with the reasons, a printable report and an alert when a spot turns red.
- Which model is most accurate where you are? In the Enthusiast and PRO views, the models ranked by how far off they were at nearby stations over the last month, for temperature, wind and rain.
- The Enthusiast and PRO views, the sectors, the notebook, teams, and emails and notifications, in Catalan and English too.
- A tidier simple view: the main things first, with quick questions, air, pollen and "What's the weather like where you are?" folded away with a summary, and buttons that are easier to tap on a phone.
- This what's new page: the version number at the bottom of the dashboard links here and, when you come back after a new version, a small notice tells you.
v1.17 Lightning nearby and school mode
- Thunderstorm alert: we let you know when lightning strikes within 10, 20 or 30 km, how far away it is, whether it is getting closer and, if you like, when the danger has passed.
- On the map, lightning from the last quarter of an hour, with 10, 20 and 30 km rings around your place.
- The lightning alert is one tap away in the simple view and in the events and forestry sectors.
- School mode: a page for teachers with five worksheets on forecasting, radar and pressure for the classroom.
- Class challenge: pupils, with no account, forecast tomorrow's high and rain, and the next day it is compared with what actually happened.
- The website explains everything new in What you can do and How it works, and the menu now links to Accuracy and Schools.
v1.16 Instant alerts and a more useful simple view
- Rain-on-the-way alert: "Rain in ~25 min", worked out from the radar, and it tells you if it will be snow.
- A phone notification when AEMET issues an orange or red warning for your area.
- Your places: save up to 10 (without an account, they stay in your browser).

- "What's the weather like where you are?": tell us what you see and it shows on the map for an hour.
- The Atlas Forecast shows how accurate it is: "yesterday here it was 0.8 °C off" on its card and on the Accuracy page.
- Atlas Forecast temperature up to 72 h wherever it beats the models, plus snow and snow level.
- New Farming sector: irrigation guide, chill hours, degree-days and downy mildew risk.
- Evening-before report by email for events, routes, forestry and farming.
- A Telegram bot to ask for the weather and get your alerts, and a weather calendar for your diary.
- Alerts reach you in the dashboard language you created them in.
v1.15 The dashboard in your language
- The dashboard in Spanish, Catalan and English: choose ES · CA · EN in the top bar.
- Tapping the map no longer moves your place: it opens a bubble with the value at that point and a "See the weather here" button.
- In English, AEMET warnings show their official English text.
- The version number, at the bottom of the dashboard.
v1.14 Atlas Forecast
- Atlas Forecast for the next 48 h in Catalonia: our own forecast, which blends six models and corrects them with what weather stations measure.
