Note: the DWD data (warnings, pollen forecast, bio-weather) only exists for Germany, and the operation is currently in German. An English version and weather data usable worldwide are planned, but there is no fixed date yet.
The WetterCube Fusion is still in development (alpha). Scope and details may change before the launch in Q1 2027. The WetterCube Next is a module for the Fusion and has no column of its own here because it shows the data of the Fusion.
