Roadmap

This is the current roadmap of our Open Data service, which shows what we are working on and when.

  • It is iterated on at least a quarterly basis.
  • It allows us to plan for change. It captures intent, not solutions. The further into the future a thing will take place, the more uncertain it is.
  • Things can be added to or dropped from the roadmap. In the latter case, we document this below under ‘Items removed from the roadmap’, including the date and reason.
suggerimento

The roadmap is based on the Vision and strategy of MeteoSwiss' Open Data provision. In a nutshell:

  • MeteoSwiss is implementing Open Data access in two stages, first through bulk download, then through APIs.
  • Where implemented, both access modes remain operational.

MCH Open Data roadmap

July until September (Q3-2026)​

Bulk download​

Additional variables for the 'ICON-CH1/2-EPS' and 'KENDA-CH1' datasets/collections are made available by end of July
