Openweather Platform: Weather data

Current weather

Current weather conditions for selected locations, including temperature, feels-like temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover and visibility.

Access is available through the Current Weather API and One Call. Additional parameters, including dew point and UV index, are available through One Call. Available fields depend on the access method and weather conditions.

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

Hourly weather history

Weather records at one-hour intervals, including temperature, feels-like temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover and visibility, depending on the access method.

The full hourly bulk archive begins on 1 January 1979. One Call also provides hourly historical timelines covering more than 47 years. Historical access through the Weather History API depends on the subscription or agreed Enterprise scope.

Daily weather history

Daily weather records for selected locations, covering more than 47 years through One Call. Available information includes temperature ranges, temperatures at different times of day, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure and weather conditions.

Use daily history to compare periods, analyse seasonal patterns and examine the relationship between weather and business activity.

Access and documentation: One Call

Archived forecasts

Forecasts issued in the past, available from 7 October 2017. The archive preserves 16-day forecasts generated four times daily, allowing you to examine what was predicted at a particular time, evaluate forecast performance and test decision models using the information available then.

Forecasts issued from 15 June 2019 contain hourly values across all sixteen days. Earlier forecasts use hourly intervals for days 1–10 and twelve-hour intervals for days 11–16.

Access and documentation: History Forecast Bulk

Weather statistics

Statistical summaries calculated from historical weather, describing typical conditions and their variability. Available measures include averages, minima and maxima, medians, quartiles and standard deviations for temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, precipitation and cloud cover.

Statistics are organised by calendar day and can be requested for a selected day, month or the full calendar year. Use them to establish historical reference points and assess seasonal patterns.

Access and documentation: Statistical Weather Data API

Accumulated temperature

Accumulated temperature indicators for selected locations and historical periods, with an optional temperature threshold. These values support analysis of cumulative temperature conditions between chosen dates.

Access and documentation: Accumulated Parameters API

Accumulated precipitation

Total precipitation, expressed in millimetres, over a selected historical period. Compare precipitation accumulation across locations and date ranges to understand cumulative weather conditions relevant to your analysis.

Access and documentation: Accumulated Parameters API

Delivery for your systems

Each dataset has a defined access method and supported formats. Data accessed through APIs is provided as JSON, with XML available through supported APIs. Available parameters, geographical coverage, time periods, resolution and update frequency are specified in each dataset’s description and documentation.

Bulk datasets are separate dataset options, with their own defined contents, file formats and delivery arrangements. Refer to the relevant bulk dataset description for its coverage, available files and update schedule.

Choose datasets for your Enterprise package

Select the weather datasets, locations and time periods relevant to your organisation. Your Enterprise agreement defines the included data, usage allowances, access and delivery arrangements.

The Base Licence includes a defined selection of current weather, forecasts, historical and statistical weather data, with one year of historical access. The pricing page sets out the included datasets, forecast periods and delivery options.

Extend your package with additional datasets, longer historical coverage, extended forecast archives, greater capacity and tailored delivery. Requirements beyond the Base Licence are agreed through customisation, with the scope and charges set out in your proposal.
