Klart.se

Klart.se is a Swedish weather service founded in 2009 by IT entrepreneur Pierre Siri. In the spring of 2011, the media group Schibsted acquired the company. As of June 2024, following a restructuring of Schibsted, Klart.se is part of the newly formed, foundation-owned Schibsted Media.

The service provides weather forecasts for over 20,000 locations in Sweden and 180,000 worldwide, using data from sources like the Finnish company Foreca. A key feature of its platform is the ability for users to compare forecasts from Klart.se alongside those from SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) and Yr (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute). The platform is accessible via its website and mobile applications.

Klart.se offers detailed 14-day and hourly forecasts. Beyond standard weather information like precipitation, clouds, and temperature, the service provides specialized data catering to specific interests. For skiers, it offers details on snow depth, lift status, and piste maps. During allergy season, users can access pollen forecasts. The service also features a community-supported function for checking water temperature, quality, and algal bloom status at swimming locations across Sweden. Users receive push notifications for extreme weather warnings issued by SMHI.
