Ilmateenistusse

Ilmateenistusse refers to the meteorological service in Estonia. The primary institution responsible for providing weather forecasts, observations, and related services is the Estonian Environment Agency (Keskkonnaagentuur). This agency operates under the Ministry of Environment and plays a crucial role in monitoring and forecasting weather patterns across the country.

The Ilmateenistusse collects data from a network of weather stations throughout Estonia, as well as utilizing satellite and radar information. This data is then analyzed by meteorologists to produce various types of forecasts, including short-term, long-term, and specialized forecasts for maritime, aviation, and agricultural sectors. They also issue warnings for severe weather events such as storms, heavy snow, or extreme temperatures.

In addition to forecasting, the Ilmateenistusse is involved in climate research and monitoring long-term climate trends. They contribute to international meteorological initiatives and maintain archives of historical weather data. The services provided by the Ilmateenistusse are essential for public safety, economic planning, and various industries that are dependent on weather conditions. Their public-facing website offers up-to-date weather information and forecasts for the general public.
