Provision of weather data for the interested public in Slovenia
Overview: Meteolab Web Service
The main objective of Meteolab web service is to provide the data from the IlirskaBistrica-Trnovo to the public in a usable form. Trnovo is a settlement in the city of IlirskaBistrica in southwestern Slovenia. The web service enables interested members of the public to track detailed current and historical weather data and access local or national forecasts. Since the station IlirskaBistrica-Trnovo continues to grow, new and innovative sensors are constantly being added to achieve better and more accurate measurements.

Special challenges
1. Measurement of large amounts of precipitation
The field of precipitation measurement is very complex and dynamic. In addition, Slovenia experiences large amounts of precipitation every year, which requires highly accurate measurement. In the past, it was extremely difficult to measure cloudbursts, heavy daily precipitation, and precipitation accompanied by strong winds.
2. Detection of extremely light precipitation
The old Lambrecht rain gauge 1518 H3 was well suited for recording large amounts of precipitation. However, this rain gauge was not designed to record extremely light precipitation. The Ilirska Bistrica-Trnovo station needed a more sensitive measuring device to improve accuracy and data quality.
Requirement
Precipitation intensity (the amount of precipitation expressed in millimeters per unit of time) varies enormously in the Ilirska Bistrica area. A rain gauge was needed that could measure all precipitation intensities, from light drizzle to heavy rain, with high accuracy.
Solution
Meteolab has introduced the heated rain[e]H3 precipitation sensor. Now, precipitation data can be processed together with other data from the automatic weather station and made available to the public on the Meteolab website.

rain[e]H3 Weighing Precipitation Sensor
Thanks to innovative weighing technology combined with a self-emptying collection vessel, the rain[e]H3 sets new standards in professional rainfall measurement. Its outstanding resolution and accuracy are recognized worldwide. The rain[e]H3, equipped with electronically controlled ring heating, is specifically designed for extremely cold climates. Features of continuous development include an integrated outdoor temperature sensor, a real-time clock, electronic monitoring when opening the housing, and remote maintenance. Additionally, with an optional port server and web interface, the rain[e]H3 is well-prepared for the communicative demands of the future.
