DESCRIPTION:Modern city planning must account for local climatic condition
 \, thereby making a continual climate monitoring essential. The Klimainfor
 mationssystem (KIS) Graz strives to continuously and comprehensively colle
 ct\, prepare and provide climate relevant information for the city of Graz
  and its surroundings. The outcomes of this process are published via a we
 b service (kis.graz.at)\, to foster evidence-based policy making and impro
 ve professional decisions as well as raise awareness of the public.\nIniti
 ally\, the KIS was kicked-off by demands for an update of the urban climat
 e analysis\, which at the same time should support visionary concepts and 
 strategies. Subsequently\, the KIS working group was formed by a consortiu
 m of several departments of the city of Graz and the state of Styria. Foll
 owing a three-year development phase\, the KIS has gone operational in the
  beginning of 2024.\nCurrently\, the KIS portal (kis.graz.at) provides var
 ious bodies and the public with detailed city-wide information on climatic
  aspects often presented as maps\, such as surface temperatures\, solar en
 ergy potential\, thermal loss\, short range temperature forecasts\, climat
 e projections\, and heat-related current and future risk analyses. In the 
 case of redevelopments of urban spaces\, the KIS provides heat stress anal
 ysis on the point scale for different planning options. Moreover\, the KIS
  installed several additional weather stations within the city\, which amo
 ng other things inform on observed climatic changes and differences in tem
 peratures over the diverse landscape of the city of Graz.
