This weather service offers a simple and comprehensive overview of the principle atmospheric components, including the current temperature, wind speed, air pressure and quantity of rain fall in Vatican City.

The service also allows users to access a series of graphs showing meteorological changes over a period of time, within a day, month or year.

It allows for users to change the units of measurement according to their locality.

Future plans for the portal include more statistical data, a increased precision of measurements from the meteorological station and an extension of the Vatican live images service already partially offered via six webcams.

The weather station was installed on the roof of the Governor’s palace in the heart of Vatican City.
