What EuskalmetEJGV does

Euskalmet (Euskal Meteorologia Agentzia / Agencia Vasca de Meteorología) is the official meteorological agency of the Basque Country (Euskadi), Spain, operating as a public agency (organismo público) under the Basque Government's Department of Safety (Eusko Jaurlaritzaren Segurtasun Saila). It delivers weather forecasting, maritime prediction, climate monitoring, and severe weather alerting for the Basque Country and surrounding maritime areas, with all services provided free of charge to citizens and institutions. The product suite spans short-term and medium-term bulletins, regional forecasts for the Iberian Peninsula and Europe, UV index, isobar and surface wind maps, extreme weather alerts (Meteoadversa), numerical weather prediction model visualizations, and forest fire risk assessment using an adapted Canadian Fire Weather Index. Maritime capabilities include the Itsaseus hourly sea-state forecast for seven coastal points, the Euskoos operational oceanography system, and ocean-meteorological information covering waves, currents, salinity, and water temperature. Observation infrastructure combines a dense network of land stations, the Kapildui precipitation radar, Meteosat satellite imagery, pollen monitoring, and flood surveillance; data is distributed through the official website, a mobile application, email alert subscriptions, the Troposfera podcast, and an Open Data service. The agency also issues official meteorological certificates with legal validity.

The underlying technology is a public-sector meteorological observation and forecasting stack rather than a commercial platform. It is built around weather stations, the Kapildui radar, Meteosat satellite integration, and numerical weather prediction models, with no public API documented. Distribution is purely digital and self-serve through the website and mobile app, supplemented by social media (Twitter/X), a podcast, and PDF bulletins, all delivered in Basque and Spanish. Because Euskalmet is a government entity funded through the Basque Government's general budget, it has no commercial revenue model, no disclosed pricing, no private funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. Its customer base is the general public of the Basque Country, with secondary use by public safety and emergency services and the Basque Government's Security Department for forest fire and emergency management.

Broad incumbents

• Met Office: The UK's national meteorological service, combining public weather forecasts with commercial services. Comparable in its public-good mandate and certified-data products, but vastly larger scale and operates a significant commercial arm that Euskalmet does not.
• KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute): Dutch national meteorological agency operating official observation networks and providing public forecasts and warnings. Directly comparable in mission and institutional structure, though smaller in national scope than Euskalmet's regional catchment.
• The Weather Company (IBM): IBM-owned commercial weather platform providing consumer forecasts, enterprise data APIs, and media-grade weather content. Comparable as a multi-channel weather distribution and forecasting entity, though commercially focused rather than government-mandated.
• AccuWeather: Major commercial weather provider serving consumer and enterprise markets globally with forecasts, severe weather alerts, and APIs. Comparable in delivering forecasting and alerts to end-users, but operates as a commercial entity rather than a public agency.
• AEMET (Agencia Estatal de Meteorología): Spain's national meteorological agency, providing forecasts, warnings, and climate services for all of Spain. Closely comparable as a public meteorological agency in the same country using the same observation infrastructure philosophy, but operates at national rather than regional scope.
• Météo-France: France's national meteorological agency offering public forecasts, warnings, and certified data. Same public-agency operating model and product categories as Euskalmet, but at national scale with broader geographic coverage and significantly larger resource base.
• Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD): Germany's national meteorological agency providing public forecasts, severe weather warnings, and climate monitoring. Same official-agency role within its country; comparable product portfolio including maritime and aviation forecasting.

Emerging players

• DTN (DTN Weather): Commercial provider of weather-driven insights for agriculture, energy, aviation, and maritime industries. Comparable in delivering decision-supporting meteorological data to operational users, complementary to Euskalmet's public-information products.

Direct peers

• StormGeo: Private provider of weather intelligence specializing in maritime, offshore, and energy sectors. Highly comparable for Euskalmet's Itsaseus and Euskoos maritime/oceanographic offerings, though operating commercially across many regions rather than serving a single public mandate.
• Meteocat (Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya): Catalonia's regional meteorological service, providing weather forecasts, warnings, and climate monitoring for a Spanish autonomous community. Highly comparable peer — same country, same regional-government public-agency model, similar bilingual mission and product scope.
