Direct peers

• MeteoGroup (DTN): European-origin commercial weather services company (now part of DTN) providing forecasts, severe-weather alerts, and B2B APIs. Directly comparable to wetter.com and especially to its meteonomiqs B2B/data arm.
• Weather Underground: Consumer weather platform leveraging a large personal weather station network and rich data products. Comparable in combining consumer-facing forecasts with a data/community moat and API/data services.
• Kachelmannwetter: Swiss/German consumer weather portal led by meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann. Direct head-to-head competitor to wetter.com in DACH with strong brand equity among weather enthusiasts and overlapping ad-supported, freemium, and content formats.
• AccuWeather: Global consumer and B2B weather platform combining forecasts, severe weather alerts, and an API/data business. Closely comparable business model to wetter.com across web, app, TV, and enterprise data.
• The Weather Channel / weather.com: Largest US weather media brand owned by Allen Media Group, with consumer web/app presence and a TV network. Closest scale analog to wetter.com's multi-format (web + TV + apps) consumer weather media model.
• yr.no: Joint weather service of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NRK, providing free forecasts across Northern Europe. Comparable consumer weather portal model and a benchmark for how national-met + media partnerships can scale traffic.
• ilMeteo.it: Leading Italian consumer weather portal with forecasts, maps, and video content. Direct peer to wetter.com's ilmeteo24.it sub-brand and a representative example of country-specific consumer weather media in Southern Europe.
• ElTiempo.es: Leading Spanish consumer weather portal operated by AEMET and a media partner. Direct peer to wetter.com's tiempo.es sub-brand in Spain and a benchmark for monetizing local weather traffic via advertising and content.

Broad incumbents

• Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD): Germany's official national meteorological service and the authoritative source of forecast data consumed by wetter.com. Sets the baseline for free, trusted German-language weather information that wetter.com's consumer product must differentiate against.

Emerging players

• Tomorrow.io: Weather intelligence platform combining proprietary observations, forecasting, and an API/data business targeted at enterprises. Emerging peer most relevant to wetter.com's meteonomiqs B2B/data growth vector rather than its consumer portal.
