www.meteoalarm.eu will provide the most relevant information needed to
prepare for extreme weather, expected to occur somewhere over Europe:

* It will alert you to the possible occurrence of severe weather,
such as heavy rain with risk of flooding, severe thunderstorms,
gale-force winds, heat waves, forest fires, fog, snow or extreme cold
with blizzards, avalanches or severe coastal tides.

* In one glance you will be able to see where in Europe the weather
might become dangerous. The colours used on the website maps indicate
the severity of the danger and its possible impact. On the European map
each participating country is coloured consistent with the highest
colour assigned to a current warning. Clicking on a country will link
you to national and regional warnings.

* For the higher awareness colours (orange and red) pictograms will
be added to the regional information. This will show you what types of
weather are expected to cause disruption and potential danger. By
clicking on a region within a country you will find more detailed
information for these higher danger levels on. This will include the
expected time period for any given event to happen, and also additional
aspects, such as its intensity (e.g. snow amounts expected). The
background pictures on this regional level will be synonymous with the
event and potential risks associated with them.



* www.meteoalarm.eu will offer you the option of selecting severe
weather information for today or tomorrow. If you want further detail on
national warning texts you can link to the relevant National Weather
Service by clicking on its logo.

* www.meteoalarm.eu is the website that integrates all important
severe weather information originating from the official National Public
Weather Services across a large number of European countries. This
information is presented consistently to ensure coherent interpretation
as widely as possible throughout Europe.

* www.meteoalarm.eu is developed for EUMETNET, the Network of
European Meteorological Services. This initiative is strongly supported
by WMO the World Meteorological Organization.

It's beta. Access was permitted earlier on although it was rather slow.
I think the username/password dialog was added so that only registered
beta testers can use it, presumably until server side issues are sorted.
It is supposed to be a "free" service.

I didn't see it myself but others gave cautiously favourable reviews.
