Minute-by-minute precipitation
Precipitation forecasts at one-minute intervals for the next 60 minutes, showing how precipitation intensity is expected to change at a selected location. Use this data to support immediate decisions about outdoor work, transport and other activities affected by precipitation.
Access and documentation: One Call
15-minute forecasts
Weather forecasts at 15-minute intervals for the next 48 hours, including temperature, wind, precipitation, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover and visibility.
These forecasts support planning throughout the day where weather conditions need to be assessed at shorter intervals than an hour.
Access and documentation: One Call
Hourly forecasts
Weather forecasts at one-hour intervals, including temperature, feels-like temperature, wind and gusts, humidity, pressure, cloud cover, visibility, precipitation probability, and rain and snow amounts.
The Hourly Forecast API provides four days of forecasts, covering 96 hourly timestamps. One Call provides a 48-hour forecast within its hourly timeline.

Three-hourly forecasts
Weather forecasts at three-hour intervals for the next five days. Available data includes temperature, feels-like temperature, wind, humidity, pressure, cloud cover, visibility, precipitation probability, and rain and snow amounts.
Use these forecasts to assess changing conditions across the coming days and incorporate weather into operational schedules.
Access and documentation: 5 Day / 3 Hour Forecast API
Daily forecasts
Daily weather forecasts for up to sixteen days, including minimum and maximum temperatures, temperatures and feels-like values at different times of day, wind, humidity, pressure, cloud cover and precipitation.
These datasets support planning across working weeks, scheduled activities and multiple operating locations.
Access and documentation: Daily Forecast API
Climatic forecasts
Climatic forecast data at daily intervals for the next thirty days, including temperature ranges, temperatures at different times of day, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover and precipitation.
Use this data to extend your planning beyond the shorter forecast periods.
Access and documentation: Climatic Forecast API
Long-range daily outlooks
Daily outlooks extending up to 1.5 years ahead through One Call. Its daily timeline includes both short-range forecast data and longer-range outlooks.
Use this data to support seasonal planning, demand modelling and analysis of activities influenced by weather over longer periods.
Access and documentation: One Call
Delivery for your systems
Access data through APIs with JSON responses. XML is also available through supported APIs. Available parameters, forecast coverage and update frequency depend on the dataset and access method.
Current weather, four-day hourly forecasts, five-day three-hourly forecasts and sixteen-day daily forecasts are also available as regularly updated CSV or JSON bulk files. Standard location lists cover cities and postcodes, with custom bulk delivery available for agreed requirements.
