Compare the local forecast and ensemble spread with weather forecast maps for Greece, European weather maps and world weather maps. Explore temperature at 2 m and 850 hPa, rainfall accumulation, wind and pressure from the available GFS, ECMWF, AIFS, AIGFS and GEM model runs. Check the valid time and run shown on each map before comparing charts.

Start with the 14-day weather forecast. Open the detailed tables to compare models, then explore hourly temperature, precipitation, wind and 850 hPa in the meteogram. Ensembles show the spread of possible outcomes; satellite images show observed clouds.

850 hPa temperature, 2 m temperature and precipitation ensembles for Zakopane. GEFS, AIGEFS, ECMWF IFS ENS, AIFS ENS, GEM GEPS. Choose Open-Meteo or Direct. Auto tries Open-Meteo first, then Direct when unavailable. Direct retains the native time steps of each model; the displayed source and interval apply. Individual member availability varies by model and variable.

Visible, infrared and available RGB cloud imagery for Zakopane. Satellite coverage and observation times vary by region.
Satellite images and rain radarZakopane is a base for a winter trip to the Tatras, with several separate ski areas around the town. Kasprowy Wierch, Polana Szymoszkowa and Harenda offer different mountain settings and access points; they are not one continuous ski area.
The forecast on this page refers to the town point at 819 m. Temperature, wind and snowfall can be very different higher on the mountain. Check the forecast for your chosen slope or summit and the operator’s latest opening information before travelling.

Zakopane, Lesser Poland, Poland. Check the hourly forecast for temperature, rain and wind when planning time outdoors.
The forecast point is at about 819 m (GeoNames terrain estimate). The GeoNames entry lists 27,266 residents; this is a gazetteer figure, not necessarily the latest census or the wider urban-area population.
For a nearby comparison, Poprad is about 37 km away in a straight line. Check both forecasts if your plans include these places. The distance is measured in a straight line, not along the road.
For a walk or a day with several stops, check the hourly rain and wind. Select the neighbourhood or place you plan to visit on the map to see the forecast for that location.
Around the June solstice, there are approximately 16h 20m of daylight, compared with 8h 10m at the December solstice. These are astronomical estimates, not sunshine forecasts; cloud and the local horizon affect the light you see.
Compare seasons in the weather history. Check the selected period, source and data coverage: station observations and gridded historical estimates describe different records.
Distances are approximate and measured in a straight line. Nearby places may not have a direct road, piste or lift connection.

Temperature and precipitation history over 10, 20 or 30 years. The 100-year option searches for a nearby NOAA station with an archive starting sufficiently early; the table reports actual completeness. NASA POWER / MERRA-2 and ERA5 are gridded historical estimates, while NOAA GHCNd contains station observations. These different sources are not merged into one time series.
A wet day has at least 1 mm total precipitation. Where the source separates rain, the rain-day indicator uses rain only. A snowfall day has at least 0.1 cm fresh snow where supplied; this does not imply settled snow cover. This NASA POWER dataset does not supply snowfall. Missing values are not zero. Averages and extremes use complete months or years as labelled, without automatically calibrating the forecast.
The blend uses available model families once per variable. Grids depend on the selected source and are shown in the comparison. A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Missing values remain blank. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook.
Open-Meteo automatically uses terrain elevation and temperature downscaling. We do not subtract another temperature correction per 100 metres or transfer the Agios Stefanos station’s empirical calibration to other locations. Clicking the map requests the nearest cell of each model at your coordinates. Listed cities use a land cell with similar elevation. Zooming does not increase the weather model’s resolution.
Pressure is the daily mean reduced to sea level. Wind is the average of the models’ daily maximum wind speeds, not a gust. Today includes hours that have already passed; these are model estimates rather than station observations.

Check the Snowfall column for estimated fresh snow in centimetres and compare individual models. These values do not predict the final snow depth on the ground. Surface temperature, wet-bulb temperature, the vertical temperature profile, elevation and precipitation intensity all matter. A daily minimum or an 850 hPa temperature alone cannot determine whether snow will fall or settle.

Drizzle, rain, thunderstorms, mixed rain/snow and snow use available model weather codes and hourly precipitation. Hail is shown only when a model supplies WMO code 96 or 99; absence of this code does not rule out hail. Open-Meteo currently provides thunderstorm-with-hail forecasts only in Central Europe, so this signal is not available for Greece. A daily symbol summarises weather during the day, not every hour. Simultaneous liquid precipitation and snow within one model hour is labelled mixed; different hours or models may indicate a transition instead.
💨 Wind ≥40 km/h or gusts ≥60 km/h · 🥶 Low ≤−5 °C · 🌡️ High ≥35 °C. These are display thresholds, not official weather warnings. Missing gust forecasts are excluded. Symbols use the same temperatures as the displayed forecast.

Artificial Intelligence Global Forecast System: a machine-learning model initialized from NOAA atmospheric analyses.
Integrated Forecasting System: the intergovernmental European centre’s numerical model. IFS 9 km and IFS 0.25° are products of the same model family on different data grids.
Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System: this page uses AIFS Single, which produces one forecast scenario.
Global Environmental Multiscale: the atmospheric model within Canada’s GDPS. The current system combines numerical prediction with large-scale guidance from the GEML AI model.
The blend uses the values available for each day and variable. Coverage falls as individual models reach their forecast limits. The two IFS products are not independent models. Model spread shows disagreement, not the probability of a weather event.
Wind: maximum daily speed at 10 m and prevailing direction of origin. Direction uses a speed-weighted circular calculation; missing or strongly opposing directions display a dash. 🥶: low below 0°C. 🥵: high above 30°C. 💨 in Conditions: wind at least 40 km/h or gusts at least 60 km/h.

The choice applies to widgets, maps and forecasts. Actual station readings stay unchanged. Automatic tries Open-Meteo first, then available direct sources if a supported request fails.
A data service supplying NOAA, ECMWF and ECCC forecasts. Available model names and grids are shown with each forecast.
Direct GFS, AIGFS, IFS, AIFS and GEM/GDPS data from the Xionia cache when a complete recent cycle is available. Supported grids are GFS 0.25° / 0.5°, AIGFS 0.25°, IFS 0.25°, AIFS 0.25° and GEM 0.15°.
Each available family contributes once per variable. Direct forecasts select the freshest available GFS grid and use equal family weights as the baseline. Local weights apply only where enabled after validation. The comparison shows actual percentages and model cycles.
A dash means unavailable data. Wind and gust may use different models. AIGFS temperature is excluded when it cannot be compared on the same elevation basis. Six-hour precipitation is water equivalent, not snow depth.
A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers only the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook. Agreement between models is not a probability from a true ensemble.
