**Owner:** Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute

## Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in [addresses.json](../addresses.json) (capture: yes). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

## What it shows, and how

Home leads with the colour code for the country and a one-paragraph "weather picture" by the duty forecaster; KNMI Data Platform publishes observations, radar and HARMONIE model output.

Forms: `maps`, `warnings`, `radar`, `api`.

## What it does best

The duty forecaster's short text on the home page, dated and plain.

## What we take from it

A dated two-sentence "the picture now" by a named role, above the data.

## Data and models it says it uses

Its own stations and the HARMONIE-AROME model (read on the KNMI Data Platform listing).

Where its data comes from, traced: [the lineage of this site](../../../meteorology/nodes/site-knmi.md) (kept by incident.meteorology@).

## API and feeds

KNMI Data Platform: Open Data API, EDR API, notification service (key needed)
