Weather disclaimer

Forecast uncertainty, service availability and the limits of reliance on weather information.

Last updated

1. Forecast uncertainty

Forecasts, observations, maps, diagrams and derived assessments describe atmospheric conditions with unavoidable uncertainty. A model estimate is not a guarantee that a condition will occur at a particular place or time. Accuracy can vary with terrain, observation coverage, model resolution, forecast lead time and rapidly changing local conditions.

Some assessments are experimental or indicate conditions favourable to a phenomenon rather than its probability or confirmed occurrence. Read the product descriptions, units, source and validity time before interpreting a value.

2. Official warnings and decisions

LemmingMeteo does not replace official warnings, certified operational information, emergency communications or advice from a suitably qualified professional. Check the responsible meteorological, emergency, aviation, maritime or other authority for the information required for your activity.

Do not rely on LemmingMeteo alone for a decision that could affect life, health, property or operational safety. You remain responsible for assessing fitness for your purpose and verifying critical information against appropriate independent sources.

3. Timeliness and third-party sources

Source updates, processing, communications or display may be delayed, interrupted or incomplete. A value may refer to an earlier observation or model run. The displayed publication or validity time matters; the time at which you open a page does not make every value current.

Information from an external source remains subject to its limitations. LemmingMeteo does not guarantee that an external feed, linked website or communication channel will remain available.

4. Warranties

Except for an express commitment in an accepted agreement or a warranty required by law, the service is provided as available, without a promise of uninterrupted operation, complete coverage, absence of errors or suitability for a particular purpose. These qualifications apply only to the extent that applicable law permits.

5. Limits of liability

To the extent permitted by law, LemmingMeteo is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost business opportunities resulting from reliance on weather information or an interruption of service. Any specific liability allocation for a paid service must be stated in the accepted agreement.

No provision excludes or limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or any other matter that the law makes non-excludable, including applicable consumer remedies and liability for death or personal injury where such liability cannot be limited. This disclaimer does not create a universal waiver of legal rights.

6. Report a concern

If information appears incorrect, include the location, product, source if shown, validity time and a description of the problem when contacting LemmingMeteo. For an immediate risk or emergency, contact the appropriate public authority directly.
