Warning

This dataset is still in the testing phase and is subject to change. In the coming period, we will publish test data in this dataset; these are not real warnings. Please see the technical documentation for more information about this test data.


Abstract

Dutch weather warnings and potentially dangerous weather from KNMI for the general public. Warnings and potentially dangerous weather are indicated for iciness and snow, rain, fog, thunderstorms, wind(gusts), heat and cold, wind/water spouts. The warnings are issued up to 48 hours in advance; potentially dangerous weather is indicated up to a week in advance. Potentially dangerous weather may become a warning with code yellow, amber or red, but it doesn’t have to.

The data is published in two different formats: CAP (XML) and JSON. All timestamps are in UTC.
