What this project is, where its data comes from, and how the outlook and ranking tools are put together, without giving away the working parts a competitor could copy.
Skåne Weather is a spare time project, built and paid for privately by one person with a background in atmospheric science and weather data, now working mostly on weather risk in other sectors. It is not affiliated with SMHI, DMI, Trafikverket, or any employer.
The name is kept off the pages on purpose: the tools should be judged on whether the numbers are right and the explanations are clear, not on who wrote them. Questions and corrections are welcome at skaneweather@proton.me.
Every page fetches live data and shows its source and timestamp. Across the site:
Full attribution and links sit at the bottom of each tool page.
The Good, Mixed, Poor call on the outlook page weighs several factors, including rainfall, wind and gusts, thunderstorm risk, temperature, and visibility, for the hours immediately ahead. Each factor can pull the verdict down; the page shows which ones did, in plain language.
Some towns sit closer to a settled air mass more often; others sit near a coastline, a sea breeze boundary, or a front's likely path, where small errors grow quickly. The ranking scores each town by how often it tends to be the easier call for a forecaster, checked against what actually happened, not just against the forecast itself.
No accounts, no tracking, nothing stored about a visitor. Data is fetched straight from each source's API when a page loads and refreshed on a timer; nothing sits on a server in between.
These pages are built for Skåne, but the approach, turning a forecast into what it means on the ground, applies to any region or operation. For an impact forecast, a risk model, or warning and decision support built the same way for your own network, get in touch at skaneweather@proton.me.
