Join us for the European Weather Cloud (EWC) User Workshop 2025, taking place in-person for the first time at ECMWF in Bologna on 18 September 2025. This full-day event, co-organised by ECMWF and EUMETSAT, will provide an opportunity to explore the latest developments, share experiences, and shape the future of the EWC.
You will find all the information in the event page, including how to register. The final agenda will be published closer to the event date.
While this workshop is intended primarily as an in-person event, online attendance will also be possible for those unable to travel. Either way, if you are planning to participate, you must register before 31 of July.
We encourage all EWC users to come forward and present their work, experiences, and use cases at the workshop. If you are interested in presenting, please contact us through the EWC Support Portal or our Discussion Platform.
Note that this year's workshop is very special — it coincides with ECMWF's 50th anniversary celebrations and will run in parallel with other key events such as the 21st ECMWF workshop on high performance computing in meteorology and Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2025). If you happen to be in Bologna that week, why not join us for the EWC workshop as well? Don't forget to register if you do!
Please feel free to share this invitation with your colleagues who may be interested in attending.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bologna for this exciting event!
We are currently experiencing performance issues with object storage (S3) on the EUMETSAT side of the EWC. You may notice occasional timeouts and slow performance. Our infrastructure provider is aware of the issue and is actively working to resolve it.
We apologize for the inconvenience!
Dear all,
We are currently experiencing a network issue at EUMETSAT, which is affecting access to Morpheus. As a result, Morpheus is temporarily unavailable.
However, please note that your workloads are continuing to run without any issues.
If you have any other problem please contact us in rocketchat or through support ticket.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your understanding,
EWC Team on EUM side
Dear ,
On Monday, April 28, between 10:00 and 11:00 CEST, there will be a maintenance window for Keystone, Keycloak, and Horizon, where associated IPs will be upgraded in order to deploy a new High Availability configuration for internet facing systems.
In case you need to enable any firewall, the new IPs will be:
Name: keystone.cloudferro.com
Address: 194.146.60.11
Name: horizon.cloudferro.com
Address: 194.146.60.12
Name: identity.cloudferro.com
Address: 194.146.60.13
Impact: No disruption to running workloads. Users may see intermittent issues in Morpheus when deploying, modifying, or deleting resources, and the clouds may appear “unavailable.” Users with OpenStack application credentials might also face brief connectivity issues.
No action required before or after the window. You can continue working on your VMs as usual.
Thank you for your understanding,
EWCTeam on EUM side
The European Weather Cloud (EWC) teams at ECMWF and EUMETSAT are pleased to invite you to the second thematic EWC webinar of 2025.
It will happen on Wednesday 14 May 2025 from 08:00 to 09:00 UTC (09:00 - 10:00 BST, 10:00 - 11:00 CEST, 12:00-13:00 EEST).
These recurring thematic webinars are aimed at new or prospective users of the EWC service, provided by EUMETSAT and ECMWF, which is available to all ECMWF and EUMETSAT Member and Co-operating States. Our primary objective is to provide guidance to users on how to effectively use the different capabilities of the EWC.
Information on the previous webinars, including their recordings, can be found here.
In this webinar, we will focus on automating common tasks using Infrastructure as Code in the European Weather Cloud, through the recently announced Openstack API using Openstack Application Credentials in EWC.
By the end of this 1-hour session, participants will have gained a better understanding of how to use standard DevOps tools (OpenTofu, Ansible) to automate the creation of computer resources on the EWC, to query data on ECMWF (MARS) or EUMETSAT (EUMDAC).
Attendance
Please note that the webinar is open to anyone interested from an ECMWF or EUMETSAT Member and Co-operating State.
If you would like to attend the webinar, please complete the registration: https://events.ecmwf.int/event/477/registrations/344/
We will alert you of your acceptance to the webinar and send you all the joining information and Microsoft Teams meeting details in due course.
The webinar will be conducted in English.
Dear all,
