This application provides visualisations of historical climate statistics for any location around the world. Click anywhere on the interactive map or search for a city to explore the typical monthly climate and discover how the climate has changed over the past forty years.
This application is driven by ERA5, the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate. ERA5 describes the global history of the atmosphere for…

This application allows users to explore a catalogue of historical extreme precipitation events across Europe. The magnitude and likely impacted area of the extreme events are presented, along with information on the reported financial damages and losses. The damage and loss information have been compiled from multiple external repositories and collated in a uniform manner to be presented in conjunction with the climatic data.

This application allows users to access, analyse and compare extreme precipitation indicators within the Extreme precipitation indicators for Europe and European cities from 1950 to 2019 dataset available in the CDS catalogue. These indicators include: (i) a sub-set of ETCCDI (Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices) indicators with fixed and…

This application is a data explorer for the CDS datasets: Glaciers distribution data from the Randolph Glacier Inventory for year 2000 and Glaciers elevation and mass change data from 1850 to present from the Fluctuations of Glaciers Database.
The Glaciers…

The application presents the season length and a climate suitability index of the recent past and future climate scenarios for the presence of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) across Europe.
The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is native to tropical and subtropical areas of southeast Asia and is known to transmit vector-borne diseses such as dengue andchikungunya. It arrived in Europe in the 1970's as an invasive species…

This application presents the onset date of birch pollen for the period 2010 to the last full year of ERA5 reanalysis available. Birch pollen is a dominant tree pollen in Northern and Central Europe and it is one of the most common airborne allergens in the spring. Birch pollen is linked to health conditions such as allergies and, possibly, asthma.
Users can visualize the Birch Pollen onset data, which is the number of days since 1st…

This application allows users to explore the number of heat waves in European countries based on the ERA5 hourly data on single levels dataset.
A heat wave is a prolonged period of high temperature, relative to the region. A number of qualifying definitions of heat waves are used in the climate and health communities. This application, and underlying dataset, presents the following heat-wave defintions:

This application is an exploratory tool for the Heat waves and cold spells in Europe derived from climate projections, which is based on bias adjusted output from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble of climate models.
A heat wave is a prolonged period of high temperature, relative to the region. A number of qualifying definitions of heat waves are used in…

The application presents European temperature statistics for the period 1979-2019. These statistics were derived from ERA5 hourly near-surface air temperatures. Temperature statistics are typically used in epidemiology and public health when defining health risk estimates and when looking at current and future health impacts.
The interactive livemap displays the selected climate variable for the selected season and year. Users can view…
Published:
The application delivers the European temperature exposure statistics for both the historical period, 1976-2005, and projected 30 year periods 2031-2060 and 2071-2100 using different climate change scenarios. These statistics were derived from daily 2 m mean, minimum and maximum air temperatures using a bias-adjusted EURO-CORDEX climate projections dataset. Temperature statistics are typically used in epidemiology and public health when…
Published:
This application provides pan-European information relevant to indoor heating and cooling demand in the past, near, mid, and far future. The measures used to quantify the energy demand are heating (HDD) and cooling (CDD) degree days which measure how far the outdoor temperature is from a given indoor comfort temperature. The comfort temperature thresholds considered in this application are 15.5 °C in winter and 22.0 °C in summer. The…
Published:
This application explores hydrological and climate related variables for European river catchment basins based on regional climate projections from a multi-model ensemble. Projections of water-related climate indicators are important for the water sector, in the fields of water allocation, flood management, ecological status and industrial water use, and to inform adaptation strategies in order to mitigate against the effects of climate…
Published:
This application presents European hydrological seasonal forecasts of monthly mean river discharge from a multi-model ensemble of hydrological models. Information from seasonal-range forecasts are of value for many parts of the water sector, for example in planning management of rivers for hydropower and environmental flows.
The seasonal forecasts are based on the SEAS5 meteorological forecasts from ECMWF, which are bias adjusted with…

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is a public process of analysing and allocating marine space to human activities to achieve ecological, economic, and social objectives. Resulting plans regulate the sharing of marine space by different industries and nature conservation. Conservation and broader ecosystem-based management of ocean species and habitats contribute to the sustainability of dependent industries (e.g. wild-capture fisheries) that are…

This application helps to identify if in a specific year, an EU Member State experienced an exceptionally cold winter or an exceptionally dry summer, in the context of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants (“the NEC Directive” or NECD). Article 5(2) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 states that:
‘If in a given year a Member State, due to an exceptionally cold winter or an…

The application shows the latitudinal distribution of humidity in the lowest 12 kilometers of Earth's atmosphere, as well as the corresponding variability. The statistics were derived from a large number of humidity profiles retrieved from satellite-based Radio Occultation (RO) measurements.
Atmospheric humidity plays an important role in the Earth's climate system, both for its strong greenhouse effect but also for its role in the…

The application shows time series of seasonalised (with the seasonal cycles retained in the data) and de-seasonalised monthly mean anomalies of specific humidity, vertically resolved as well as averaged in vertical layers. The statistics were derived from a large number of humidity profiles retrieved from satellite-based Radio Occultation (RO) measurements.
Atmospheric humidity plays an important role in the Earth's climate system,…

The application presents global satellite soil moisture (SM) anomalies with respect to the long-term climatological (average) conditions. SM anomalies are typically used as input for the prediction of droughts, their impact on vegetation growth or the assessment of crop yield.
Satellite soil moisture data in the CDS are available from three different sensor types: the independent “Active” and “Passive” data are based on spaceborne…
