MeteoSchweiz - Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology
The Starting Point
The Problem
MeteoSchweiz needed a solution to present technically complex weather and climate information to the Swiss population in four languages in an accessible and intuitive way. The challenge was to make demanding data understandable for diverse audiences.
The Solution
As a general contractor, Quatico developed a tailored, specialized solution and operates it as a cloud-based service. The solution includes a proprietary map framework, dynamic visualizations, weather-based 'pills', and barrier-free access in line with current technical standards.
The Implementation
The MeteoSchweiz web portal was built with state-of-the-art technologies and the highest quality standards:
Proprietary map framework
A specially developed framework for displaying and interacting with geo-information. Enables intuitive navigation through interactive timelines.
Over 70 products in real time
Map, chart, and text products deliver real-time data. Weather pills provide dynamically expandable local forecast charts from anywhere.
Automated quality gates
Continuous checks of accessibility, OWASP security standards, SEO, Core Web Vitals, and design consistency.
Highly available infrastructure
A fail-safe architecture resilient to outages of third-party systems. Designed for extreme peak loads during severe weather events.
Measurable Successes
The MeteoSchweiz web portal is a complete success, with impressive user numbers and shorter development cycles:
High user adoption
1.4 million monthly visitors confirm the successful implementation of accessible data visualization.
Faster development cycles
Release cycle shortened by a factor of 4 through automated quality gates and modern development processes.
Accessibility
Fully barrier-free access in line with current technical standards gives everyone in Switzerland access to weather and climate information.
Scalable architecture
An extensible library of maps and charts. Designed for extreme peak loads during severe weather events.
