Recently the DWD added the “DWD FlugWetter-App” for smartphones and tablets – check it out, it contains a long list of features which makes it easy to get an overview (GAFOR, METAR, TAFs, LowLevel SWC, Satellite, Radar and more). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somehow – yes – you can get a similar service like in the U.S. – but not for a similar price (free) – instead of calling a 1-800-Number you will dial a 0900 number (1,24EUR per minute).
