Free access to deterministic medium-range (3-6 days) weather forecasts including MSLP and 850mb wind. Click here.

We are an intergovernmental organisation supported by 34 States. We provide operational medium- and extended-range forecasts and a state-of-the-art super-computing facility for scientific research. We pursue scientific and technical collaboration with satellite agencies and with the European Commission.

Second weekly run of monthly forecasts

30 November 2011 A second weekly run of the ECMWF monthly forecast has been introduced, running every Monday (00 UTC) to provide an update to the main Thursday run. Products are provided to the ECMWF Member and Co-operating States and to commercial users. The monthly forecasts are an integral part of the Ensemble Prediction System (EPS) and provide outlooks up to 32 days ahead.
