StartwerkNow and today
Temperature, conditions, today’s high and low, wind with direction, humidity and the rain risk for the next three hours.
A weather widget for Chrome’s new tab.
Look at the weather without opening a weather site. Startwerk shows the current conditions, the next six hours and up to five days ahead for your postal code, every time you open a new tab.

Weather from the source
The data comes from Deutscher Wetterdienst, Germany’s national meteorological service, through the open Bright Sky service. That makes Startwerk’s weather precise for Germany and its neighbours, and it is currently available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Your postal code is matched to a location on your device. Only coordinates rounded to about one kilometre are sent to fetch the weather, never the postal code itself, and the data is refreshed at most every 30 minutes.
Data source: Deutscher Wetterdienst, processed via Bright Sky. Postal codes: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
