| Summary: | An online survey was used to map the needs and preferences of the Finnish
general public concerning extended-range forecasts and their presentation.
First analyses of the survey were used to guide the co-design process of
novel extended-range forecasts to be developed and tested during the project.
In addition, the survey was used to engage the respondents from the general
public to participate in a one year piloting phase that started in June 2017.
The respondents considered that the tailored extended-range forecasts would
be beneficial in planning activities, preparing for the weather risks and
scheduling the everyday life. The respondents also perceived the information
about the impacts of weather conditions more important than advice on how to
prepare for the impacts. |
