You can view the GMDSS weather warnings overlaid on any of our weather maps in the PredictWind App.
GMDSS marine weather information is a retransmission of The Global Ocean Observing System. National Meteorological Services initially supply the forecasts within the framework of the WMO Marine Broadcast System.
In PredictWind, GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) refers to official marine weather forecasts provided by various meteorological agencies. These forecasts cover important weather information for maritime safety, including hurricane activity, wind, wave, storm, fog and ice conditions.
You can access our graphical representation of the GMDSS forecasts through the PredictWind App.
It's crucial to view GMDSS forecasts regularly to stay informed about potential weather hazards, particularly during long ocean crossings, navigating remote areas or when hurricanes are forming. Familiarizing yourself with the graphical output and the text before departure is crucial, as these reports are prepared by Meteorologists advising on adverse weather.
