iLMeteo

What iLMeteo does

iLMeteo is an Italian weather forecasting service operated by iLMeteo Srl, a privately held subsidiary of the diversified group Gruppo Mefin Srl, headquartered in Padua, Italy. The company provides weather forecasts, real-time meteorological data, and related environmental information primarily to Italian consumers, with additional coverage across Europe, the United States, Brazil, Japan, and Egypt. Its platform combines forecasts, interactive radar, satellite imagery, lightning maps, air quality data (CO, PM10, NO2), pollen levels, marine and surf conditions, snow bulletins, webcam feeds, and a historical weather archive dating back to 1973. Forecasts range from short-term (3 days) to long-range (30 days) and seasonal outlooks.

The underlying technology integrates multiple third-party numerical weather prediction models — ECMWF, GFS, ETA (at 10km and 5km high-resolution), and WRF — into a multi-model ensemble offering, supplemented by real-time data from monitoring stations and a network of webcams. Distribution is multi-channel: the ilmeteo.it website (the primary property), an official WhatsApp channel, an iLMeteo TV YouTube presence, downloadable PDF forecasts in multiple languages, and a Business Solutions offering for portals, radio, TV and other websites. The meteorological team is led by founder Antonio Sanò, with meteorologist Mattia Gussoni providing additional forecasting and commentary.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed but is consistent with a free ad-supported consumer service. Pricing details are not published and no subscription or enterprise pricing tiers are documented. The Business Solutions product line — offering free or customized weather data, branded PDF bulletins, and an expert consultation service ("l'Esperto risponde") — represents an early B2B monetization vector but is not disclosed as a material revenue source. iLMeteo Srl was registered in the Padova companies register on 10 January 2019, while the underlying weather service has been operating since 2000.

Direct peers

• 3B Meteo: Italian consumer weather forecasting site offering forecasts, radar and webcams with native mobile apps; the closest direct competitor to iLMeteo in Italy.
• Meteo.it: Italian weather portal owned by RTL, providing forecasts, news and video content — directly competes with iLMeteo for Italian consumer weather audience.
• IlMeteo.it (Sat24 / MeteoAM-style providers) — Centro Meteo Italiano: Italian professional meteorology service offering forecasts, news and expert commentary; overlaps with iLMeteo's editorial and forecasting offerings for Italian consumers.

Emerging players

• Windy.com: Interactive weather visualization platform favored by enthusiasts and professionals; overlaps with iLMeteo's map-based forecast products (ETA, WRF, wind maps) and has expanded into Italian-language content.
• Tomorrow.io: Weather intelligence platform focused on enterprise API and nowcasting for logistics, aviation and on-demand commerce; relevant as the kind of B2B weather data business iLMeteo could evolve toward.

Broad incumbents

• AccuWeather: Global commercial weather provider with native apps, enterprise API and proprietary nowcasting; competes with iLMeteo for both Italian consumers and any prospective B2B data customers.
• The Weather Channel (weather.com): Large US-based consumer weather and video brand serving a global audience; comparable to iLMeteo in combining forecasts with video content and broad media monetization.

Regional players

• Yr.no: Joint Norwegian Meteorological Institute / NRK weather service providing free, high-quality forecasts; relevant as a comparable public-good-adjacent European weather publisher to iLMeteo.
• MeteoSwiss: Swiss national meteorological service with a consumer forecasting portal; comparable to iLMeteo as a national weather publisher but serves Switzerland rather than Italy.

Others

• ECMWF: European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts — supplies one of the core forecast models iLMeteo integrates, and is an upstream data/ecosystem participant rather than a competitor.
