YR weather application

Yr is a digital weather service providing detailed forecasts and information for locations worldwide. It was launched in 2007 through a unique partnership between two major Norwegian public institutions: the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway). While the data is processed in Norway, the service is accessible globally via mobile apps and web platforms.

The brand has gained international recognition for its reliability and use of high-resolution weather models. Because it is a product of Norwegian public sectors, its ownership remains firmly within the Norwegian state, managed by NRK and MET Norway. This ensures the service remains focused on providing accurate, free, and advertisement-free weather information to the public.
