Meteotime: Weather Forecast Outage
Since the end of June 2026, the Meteotime weather service has been experiencing a radio signal disruption. As a result, Meteotime weather stations can currently only retrieve local sensor data; however, the multi-day weather forecast is not working. Here’s an overview of all the key information.
At a Glance: Meteotime Weather Station Outage
- The current disruption to the Meteotime radio signal has been ongoing since June 30, 2026
- The weather forecast is currently not working; however, local measurement data and the date are working.
- Not a malfunction: It’s not your weather station’s fault—it’s due to the missing signal
- The outage has already been reported; Meteotime is working on a solution
- Leave the device turned on: The data will sync automatically as soon as the service is back up
Update from August 5, 2026
We—Hama—have since contacted the provider of the weather service data software: We have been assured on multiple occasions that they are working full steam ahead to resolve the technical issue. On July 30, 2026, we received official confirmation that the outage is still ongoing and that the search for a solution is not yet complete. They are working on it—and ask for your continued patience.
Meteotime Outage: What You Need to Know
Due to an external outage, the Hama “Meteotime” Weather Forecast Center may temporarily experience one of the following issues:
- No multi-day weather forecast displayed
- Display of changing weather icons
- No wind speed data
- Outdated forecast data
Meanwhile, the time, date, and local measurement data from directly connected outdoor sensors, etc., are functioning smoothly.
Reason: The weather station receives the data needed for weather forecasts via the Meteotime radio signal. According to the operator, a technical problem has existed here since June 30, 2026, and work is already underway to resolve it.
Meteotime is a weather forecasting system that transmits professional weather data directly to weather stations via radio signal. The forecasts are created by meteorologists, processed by Meteotime, and broadcast via the DCF77 time signal transmitter (Frankfurt-Mainflingen, Germany). Receivers can automatically receive and display this data.
Meteotime transmits the weather forecast data via the DCF77 time signal transmitter. This data is automatically received by a chip integrated into the weather station and displayed accordingly.
What you can do
Ultimately, the best thing you can do is wait it out:
- It’s best to leave the device turned on.
- Also, don’t change its location to improve reception (near a window, etc.).
You can leave the device’s settings as they are; a restart or reset is not necessary. As soon as the problem is resolved, the weather station will automatically resume receiving and synchronizing the forecast data.
Your weather station is not defective. The problem is that it is currently unable to receive the necessary data. The cause is already being investigated and should be resolved in the coming days.
In summary
Your weather station isn’t broken if the weather forecast isn’t working temporarily. The lack of information—such as the multi-day forecast and wind speed—is caused by a current Meteotime outage. Your device is working perfectly—please leave it turned on. You also don’t need to change any settings: As soon as the Meteotime service is available again, the data and weather station will synchronize automatically
