Court outlaws German Weather Service's free weather app
WetterOnline has won its case against Germany's national weather service. The company sued the service over the anti-competitive nature of its free weather forecast app.
The German Weather Service (DWD) will no longer be allowed to provide general weather forecasts in a free mobile phone app after a federal court ruled in favor of a private firm on Thursday.
[...] the national meteorological service will only be permitted to offer extreme weather warnings for free and that a DWD app offering general weather forecasts must contain advertisements or be purchased by users.
<sarcasm>
No national weather service could ever make a profit by giving away weather information for free.

As per EN 15494, candle wick length is not a mandatory warning.
Please don't talk about EU regulations when you don't know what you're talking about. THAT is why Brexit happened. You believed all those lies that dipshit told you. By the way, how's the extra £350M/week just flowing back to you now?
