Since 2016 EUMeTrain has been developing online simulators that can be used as an exercise in forecasting, and for understanding the work of a forecaster on shift.
The period from April to October is the most favourable part of the year for convection in Europe. Different types of convective systems may occur during that period, such as single and multi-cell storms, squall lines or super cells. These phenomena can be hazardous, causing a lot of damage and even, in some cases, fatalities. It is very important that forecasters issue warnings as soon as possible so people can take immediate action.
In this new simulator one can practise forecasting convection in the Carpathian Basin. The simulator can be accessed at the EUMeTrain website.
