How to use the Weather

  1. 1 Type a town or city and press Enter, or click “Use my location” and allow your browser to share it.
  2. 2 Read the current weather, then scroll through the next 24 hours and the 9-day forecast.
  3. 3 Switch between °C and °F. Your place and units are remembered in this browser, also for the weather widget on your start page.

Where the forecast comes from

The forecasts come from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway), a national weather service whose free global forecasts are used by many weather apps. For Scandinavia and the Nordic countries they are based on MET Norway's own high-resolution models; elsewhere on the data of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The forecast is refreshed several times an hour, and we show when it was last updated.

Place names come from OpenStreetMap. If there are several places with the same name – there are Amsterdams in the Netherlands and the United States – pick the right one from the list below the forecast, or add the country to your search, e.g. “Paris, France”.

What the numbers mean

  • Temperature is the air temperature at 2 metres above the ground.
  • Feels like combines temperature, humidity and wind into the temperature your body experiences in the shade (the apparent temperature used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology). Wind makes it feel colder; humid heat warmer.
  • Wind shows the average speed and the direction it is blowing from – the arrow points where the wind is going.
  • Precipitation is the expected amount of rain or melted snow in millimetres (or inches). 1 mm equals one litre of water per square metre.
  • Air pressure is reduced to sea level, so places at different heights can be compared. Falling pressure often means more unsettled weather.

How reliable is a 9-day forecast?

Forecasts for the next one to three days are usually accurate; after about five days the uncertainty grows quickly, especially for rain and showers. Use the later days as a trend rather than a promise, and check again closer to the date.

Your location stays private

“Use my location” asks your browser for your position, rounds it to about a kilometre and only uses it to fetch the forecast. Your chosen place is saved in your own browser, not in an account. Pin the weather to My tools on the Synsi start page to see it every time you open your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the weather forecast come from?

From MET Norway, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Their forecasts cover the whole world and are updated several times an hour.

Is my location stored?

Only in your own browser, so the weather is ready next time. Your position is rounded to about a kilometre before the forecast is fetched and is not stored on our servers.

What does “feels like” mean?

The temperature your body experiences in the shade, taking wind and humidity into account. Wind makes it feel colder, humid air warmer.

Can I see the weather on my start page?

Yes. Add the weather as a widget to My tools on the Synsi homepage; it shows the place you chose here.
