Found this via a link on a German radio amateurs website – some clever folk in Switzerland are collecting and processing weather data across the whole of Europe. There is a link for just about every country and info available in the local language as well as English and German.
Di we really need this on herewith you doing regular broadcasts GL?
Although I try and get some of the data from DWD I don’t have the time or space to fill an entire room full of radio receivers and processing equipment and I use the same receiver and netbook for monitoring other signals – this website is constantly connected to just about every weather station in Europe.
In DE, AT, CH and NL [and possibly some other countries] they have this as well as their local monitoring equipment linked up to all sorts of other radio transmitters so even if the Internet is kaputt and the electric has gone off the weather warnings can still be received on portable battery operated equipment – was reading about this earlier on the same German site; it is an impressive setup…
I also got a tweet from the website where I found the link – generated via a warning app from DWD which can also be installed on smartphones.
The warning is also automatically transmitted as an audio alert on 26,875 MHz and as a message to UHF pagers tuned to 433 MHz (these transmitters are located on a tower in the North Rhine area which has been used for many years for weather observations). Das ist wirklich schlau!
