We have compared hourly precipitation totals measured by rain gauges installed and maintained by citizens against professional weather stations managed by the national weather services of Finland, Norway and Sweden. The manufacturer of the citizen rain gauges is Netatmo. Despite the heterogeneity of citizens' measurements, our results show that the two data sources are comparable with each other, though with some limitations. The results also show how to improve the accuracy of citizens' data.

This research presents new maps of return values of maximum and minimum shade air temperatures at mean sea level, lowest 10 cm soil temperature and snow loading at 100 m above mean sea level for 50, 100 and 120-year return periods. These maps will be crucial to inform the design of buildings and civil engineering works such as roof patterns or bridges.

Agrometeorological services often do not cover the last mile – not reaching, not being understood, nor being trusted by smallholder farmers living in remote areas. To help bridge this gap across the last mile, the workshop on effective communication of agrometeorological services took place during the EMS2022. This paper presents the outcomes and recommendations on how to bridge the gap between information providers and information users.

This paper examines the simulataneous exceedance of daily accumulated precipitation (RR) and minimum (TN) temperature thresholds in Greece for the period 1980–2004 and for each month in the period November to April. Available data from observations and projection simulations are used to calculate the probabilities of extreme wet-cold compound events at the past. Models are validated by the observational data.

By facilitating the execution of agriculture-related models in cloud and HPC this works demonstrated new features that allow the improvement of the involved processes in terms of technology combination. The technology pillars of this work follow the paradigm of European Union's initiative, Destine Earth (DE). Lesson learned in all three components (HPC, NWP, Cloud) of the developed data driven service are described and pathways for the creation of operational services are discussed.
