Meteonorm Version 8

Eight years after launching version 7, Meteotest publishes Meteonorm Version 8. This upgrade includes mainly new and more current climate periods, better access to ongoing timeseries and updates of the software. The user interface of the desktop software hasn’t been changed much. With the publishing of version 8 Meteotest stops the support of version 6 (2006).

Updated historic, current and future data

•  New data periods (2000-2019 / 1996-2015)
•  Updated current data / timeseries for Americas and Asia
•  Updated future data (IPCC scenarios)
