Information about Blika

Blika is a weather forecasting web that produces forecasts for locations all over Iceland. The weather forecast is available to everyone in accessible format for everyone free of charge. Currently the web page is available both in Icelandic and in English but more languages will be added in the coming months. News related to weather are available on the Icelandic version and interested users can use online translation services to read the news.

The forecast is updated 4 times each day. It is calculated in a fine grid for the next 60 hours and a coarser grid from hour 60 till 10 days out. Forecasts are made for about 10.000 locations all over Iceland and more will be added soon.

Blika downscales the global GFS weather model using the WRF model. The model also uses the best land cover and elevation data available. Since Blika downscales the model the forecasts are generally better than those found in weather web pages and apps that have forecasts for locations all over the world, such as the general weather apps in Android and iPhones.

Blika is operated by Veðurvaktin ehf. Veðurvaktin is Icelands biggest private weather forecaster. Veðurvaktin or Blika is in no way responsible for damage related to incorrect info or forecasts on the web page.
