Abstract:
Weather knowledge, interest, and risk assessment of laypeople is a key element of severe weather warning quality management. As a pilot study for an international data base, the situation was assessed in Brazil, India, and Germany.

Questionnaires covered weather (report) interest/sources/legibility, basic weather knowledge, subjective risk assessment, preparedness, self-reported behavior, physical damage by weather events, and sociodemographic data. Brazilian data (104) came from the relatively flat area of Campinas northeast of the Sao Paulo metropolis. The Indian sample (100) was collected in northeast, mountainous Nagaland. A German survey (80) chose the Rosenheim, Bavaria, foothills north of the Alps. Mean ages were 35.8 (Ind), 37.2 (Brz) and 38.8 (Ger); the samples were gender-balanced, but had an education bias.
Weather interest was above 50% in all three countries (Ger 80%). Interest in weather reports varied (Ind 31%, Brz & Ger 53%). The main sources were TV/newspapers in India, TV/internet in Brazil, and internet/radio/TV in Germany. Report legibility was rated medium by all samples. Subjective risk assessment identified landslides as Indian top-feared risk, floods in Brazil, tornadoes in Germany. Meteorological lay knowledge was low in India, medium in Brazil, high in Germany. Severe weather information (good: 25% Ind, 14% Brz, 50% Ger) and preparation (good: 31% Ind, 7% Brz, 24% Ger) show room for improvement. Physical damage events were sparse in India (11% storm, 9% flood), medium in Brazil (30% storm, 28% lightning) and in Germany (41% storm, 29% flood, 23% lightning).

Meteorological interest or behavior did not correlate with education in Brazil and Germany. In India, higher educated people were more weather-interested. In all three countries, weather interest and weather report interest were statistically related. In flood-risky Brazil, estimated flood risk correlated with local weather information and preparedness. Physical weather-related damage did not produce attention or attribution effects.
