As of November 2nd, KNMI has changed over from province-level weather warnings to local-scale polygon-based warnings. The polygons are be drawn by the meteorologist and show the specific area that the warning is issued for. The previous warning datasets have been replaced by 2 unified datasets.
Replacement datasets
The three current datasets have been replaced by two unified datasets. These datasets contain both the warnings (48h ahead) and potentially dangerous weather (up to a week ahead). The KNMI-public-weather-warnings dataset matches the content of the app and website. This dataset is provided in CAP format and in JSON format. The KNMI-public-weather-warnings-extended dataset contains additional low likelihood potentially dangerous weather, and is intended for professional partners and users, including national and regional governmental authorities, emergency services and crisis management organisations. This dataset is provided in JSON format only. For more information about these two datasets, see the technical documentation.

Testing phase
The replacement datasets are still in their testing phase until November 2nd. This means that they will only contain test data until this date. More test data can be provided during this period. This data can be recognized by the PublicationType being set to “test”, and the warning sets have operational_status “test”. The data model is still subject to change until the transition takes place.
After November 2nd they will become operational and contain actual warnings and potentially dangerous weather. The heartbeat will start from 20 October onwards, so the technical connection with the dataset can be tested.
