KNMI's Sustainable Weather App: Data-Driven, Ad-Free, and Eco-Friendly

KNMI partnered with Koos Service Design and Dawn Technology to create a data-driven weather app that combines live measurement data with user-generated reports. The app delivers real-time alerts for weather warnings like yellow, orange, and red, and includes safety advice for users. It also provides notifications about earthquakes in the Netherlands, with measurements displayed dynamically. The app prioritizes accessibility and sustainability, following Green Software Foundation principles to minimize CPU and battery use. It is completely ad-free and has open-source code, allowing for continuous improvement. The collaboration resulted in a reliable, eco-friendly platform that meets the needs of a broad audience.
