Accessibility and sustainability
During the design and development of this app, special attention was paid to accessibility, user-friendliness, sustainability, and quality. For instance, we have taken into account a broad target group, including potential disabilities. The app's carbon footprint has been kept as small as possible by applying the principles of Green Software Engineering. Furthermore, the app is ad-free and the source code is freely available.

About the KNMI
The climate is changing, the weather is becoming more erratic, and the ground is shaking. Keeping the Netherlands safe and livable is becoming increasingly challenging. Day and night, the KNMI provides society with independent knowledge, advice, and warnings regarding risks in the fields of weather, climate, and seismology.

Ratings and reviews

Really nice app! It could, however, use some better ux. For the widget: it would be nice if you could display both the wind and neerslag at the same time + get rid of the excess blank space. Location landing page: it would be nice if there was an overview of the weather conditions ie wind, rain, etc, not just temp. And if you could re-order the sections; I'm more interested in the next few days, but it's at the bottom of the page. Perhaps a quick way to reach a full view rain radar as well.

looks good, no ads, but some weird usability things. Difficult to add locations (can't get it to work), when reopening the app it doesn't sync with the current time and with some weather graphs it's hard to see what they mean. The app could really use some UX love.

I'm so happy KNMI has this free, ad-free app with a clean, simple interface. Weather forecasts are a public service and should never be behind a paywall or intrusive ads. also links to informative articles on their website. the only feature I miss is hour-to-hour UV index, but I use SunSmart for that which is EU and also free.

What’s new

Nieuw: je kan meldingen instellen en ontvangen voor gevaarlijk weer bij jou in de buurt. Bij code oranje of rood vind je een knop naar het liveblog op KNMI.nl. De grafieken zijn vernieuwd en beter leesbaar.
Verder: betere ondersteuning voor schermlezers, widgets die niet meer blijven laden, een kloppende neerslaggrafiek en opgeloste problemen met de radar op opvouwbare schermen.
