About the KNMI

The climate is changing, the weather is becoming more erratic, and the ground is shaking. Keeping the Netherlands safe and livable is becoming increasingly challenging. Day and night, the KNMI provides society with independent knowledge, advice, and warnings regarding risks in the fields of weather, climate, and seismology.
