Tutiempo Network

What Tutiempo Network does

Tutiempo Network, S.L. is a privately held Spanish company founded in 2005 to operate Tutiempo.net, a weather and atmospheric science information platform originally launched in 2002 as a personal project. Headquartered in Madrid with a small team of meteorology, climatology, and astronomy enthusiasts, the company aggregates and republishes data from official sources including AEMET, NOAA, NASA, NWS, the World Meteorological Organization, and Spain's Instituto Hidrográfico de la Marina, delivering hourly forecasts, severe weather alerts, historical climate data, tide tables, earthquake tracking, solar radiation, UV index, astronomical content, and unique offerings such as Mars weather from NASA's InSight mission.

The product surface spans a multilingual web platform (Spanish plus English, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian editions), native Android and iOS mobile applications, an interactive weather map with forecast model visualization, a free embeddable weather widget distributed to third-party website publishers, and a Premium ad-free subscription tier. The platform also maintains a news and editorial section covering meteorology, astronomy, and environmental topics. Tutiempo was the first Spanish weather site to publish global historical climate data and to offer a free widget for websites, and it has historically ranked first in organic search for the Spanish term 'el tiempo'.

The business model is a freemium consumer web platform monetized through third-party programmatic advertising (managed by Google and Criteo) on the free tier, with a manually-renewing Premium subscription offering an ad-free, HTTPS-secured experience as a secondary stream. Go-to-market is product-led growth driven almost entirely by organic search traffic, supplemented by the widget distribution network that places Tutiempo content across thousands of external Spanish-language sites. The company is founder-led by Juan José Rubio, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with minimal headcount as an independent, bootstrapped lifestyle business.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Meteored: Operates tiempo.com and meteored.com, the most direct Spanish-language weather portal competitor. Serves the same Spain-anchored consumer audience with forecasts, maps, alerts, and editorial content, and has demonstrated stronger international expansion, making it the closest comparable to Tutiempo's model and audience.
• ElTiempo.es: Major Spanish consumer weather portal owned by AEMET's former private data arm. Competes directly with Tutiempo for the same 'el tiempo' search traffic, offering hourly forecasts, maps, and severe weather alerts to Spanish consumers.

Emerging players

• Windy.com: Visualization-led weather platform popular among enthusiast users globally. Comparable to Tutiempo in offering interactive maps, forecasts, and specialized modules (tides, air quality), but differentiated by stronger visualization and broader international reach.

Others

• AEMET (Agencia Estatal de Meteorología): Spain's official state meteorological agency and Tutiempo's primary data source. Provides free public weather information directly to consumers, functioning partly as competitor and partly as data infrastructure provider to Tutiempo.

Broad incumbents

• AccuWeather: Large US-headquartered commercial weather company providing forecasts, severe weather alerts, and a consumer platform internationally. Comparable in offering localized hourly forecasts and interactive maps, but at much greater scale and with proprietary forecasting assets.
• The Weather Channel (weather.com): One of the largest consumer weather platforms globally, with a strong mobile app and severe weather coverage. Comparable in direct-to-consumer weather content and SEO-driven acquisition, but with substantially larger editorial, video, and capital resources.
• Weather Underground: Consumer weather platform with a large network of personal weather stations, comparable to Tutiempo's station-data aggregation approach. Owned by The Weather Company/IBM and serves a global enthusiast audience with hyperlocal observations.

Regional players

• YR.no: Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NRK joint weather service offering free, high-credibility forecasts for global locations. Comparable as a publicly-trusted free weather portal aggregating official meteorological data, but with stronger Nordic geography focus.
