We are happy to announce significant improvements in one of our products – API for UV-index

We are happy to announce that one of our products – API for UV-index – has been significantly improved.

• Now, as well as current and historical data, you can also get UVI forecasts for periods of 8 days.
• The syntax has been made considerably easier: it has become clearer and more unified like other API versions.
• There is a new feature to request data for any coordinates without limits on accuracy.
• The accuracy level of the UVI modelled data has been doubled (the interpolation grid step has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.25 degrees).
• Soon, searching by city/town name, city/town ID and postal/ZIP code will be available.

You can find the instructions for the updated version at http://openweathermap.org/api/uvi.

Please be aware that the UV-index data will be in open access for 2 weeks. Further, access to this data will be available only for paid plans starting from Developer. For more information on our plans, please visit http://openweathermap.org/price.

The previous version of the API (http://openweathermap.org/api/old-uvi) will soon be announced as deprecated, and no further support will then be provided for this version.
