Some key elements include: **Data Assimilation. **We continuously collect and ingest weather observations from global meteorological agencies, airports (METAR reports), buoys, and private data networks. This data is combined with satellite inputs and radar imagery, allowing us to track atmospheric changes in near-real time. **Global and Regional Modeling. **Our system incorporates outputs from large-scale global models (e.g., ECMWF, GFS) to form the initial state and boundary conditions.We then run high-resolution, regional models to capture local phenomena such as microclimates, sea-land interactions, and urban heat islands. **Ensemble Forecasting. **To account for uncertainty, we use ensemble techniques that run multiple forecast scenarios in parallel.This helps us quantify the range of possible outcomes and generate probabilistic forecasts, which are especially valuable for precipitation and severe weather events. **High-Performance Computing (HPC). **The complex numerical calculations required to run these high-resolution models are processed on dedicated HPC infrastructure. This allows us to update forecasts more frequently and incorporate the latest observations efficiently. **Machine Learning Integration. **We apply machine learning techniques (such as neural networks and gradient boosting) to post-process raw model outputs.These methods help correct for known biases, refine local precipitation predictions, and improve temperature/humidity forecasts in microclimates. ## OpenWeather’s Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) Model To provide weather data through the OpenWeather API, we use our in-house Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model, which processes and integrates data from a variety of sources in real time. Our goal is to continuously improve the quality and accuracy of our forecasts. Once the data is downloaded, we use our proprietary algorithms to process and blend it into a unified forecast. These real-time processes are crucial for generating accurate nowcasts (very short-term forecasts) and longer-range forecasts for our clients. Global NWP models: - NOAA GFS with 0.25° and 0.5° grid sizes - NOAA CFS (Climate Forecast System) - ECMWF ERA (reanalysis data) Weather stations: - METAR stations (airport weather reports) - Users’ stations (private and personal weather stations) - Companies’ stations (corporate or industrial weather networks) High-resolution weather radar imagery used to detect and track precipitation in near-real time. Global satellite observations for cloud cover, water vapor, and infrared imagery. ## Metrics To compare forecasts, we need to choose reliable sources. We use several sources that can be considered to be reliable. In general, these are weather stations run by meteorological agencies. For precipitation, they are weather radar sources. There are plenty of metrics for evaluating the quality of weather forecasts, both for a common purpose and for special purposes. We divide them into three groups: 1. Common scores, intended for forecast users, which show in general the accuracy that our clients can rely on. 2. Metrics to compare raw data sources, and post-processing algorithms that we use to choose between them. 3. Diagnostic metrics applied to localise certain types of errors in forecasts for further improvement. In this article, we discuss scores from the first group. Other metrics are intended for internal use. ## List of cities We used [371 cities](https://openweather.co.uk/storage/app/media/docs/cities_list.xlsx) for evaluation. This list consists of national capitals and many other major cities. ## Nowcast errors for temperature Current weather is also a type of prediction, because global NWP models and weather stations cannot provide a regular one-minute time step, and not all sites have stations. This type of prediction is known as nowcasting. We are going to consider several metrics to check how accurate the nowcast is. Two of these are the most commonly used statistical error metrics for temperature prediction: Mean Absolute Error (MAE) evaluates the average error, while Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) focuses on larger errors. The Reliability and Inaccuracy metrics allow us to get a qualitative description of accuracy in percentage terms. All calculations bellow were conducted in degrees Celsius. - **MAE** - absolute difference from stations, in degrees; **lower** is better. - **RMSE** - in degrees; **lower** is better. - **Reliability** - percentage of time when model values were within ±2 degrees of ground truth; **higher** is better. We will regard an error of up to 2 degrees in the nowcast as acceptable. - **Inaccuracy** - percentage of time when model values were not within ±5 degrees of ground truth; **lower** is better. We will regard an error of more than 5 degrees in the nowcast as inaccurate. The numbers used as the thresholds for reliability and inaccuracy might vary for different industries. The period of the analysis is from 13 April 2020 00:00 to 26 June 2020 00:00 (UTC time zone). ![Accuracy weather data](/api/media/file/accuracy_weather_data.png?v=1751380829915) Figure 1. Quality metrics for Nowcast. (**—**) OpenWeather NWP model, (**—**) and (**—**) raw data from NOAA GFS05 and GFS025, (**—**) and (**—**) NOAA GFS05 and GFS025 corrected by our algorithm, (**—**) weather provider 1 We analysed the behaviour of metrics for the OpenWeather NMP model during two months. The figure shows that MAE is about 0.5 degrees, RMSE is less than 2 degrees, reliability is between 90% and 100%, and inaccuracy is about 1% (less is better). It is clear that the OpenWeather NWP model provides the most accurate result. However, we should keep in mind that the actual difference between the nowcast and the real situation at a specific place and time could be bigger than these average errors. ## Conclusion We began by analyzing four common metrics for temperature nowcasting, and we plan to expand our evaluation to more weather parameters such as precipitation, humidity, wind, and beyond. Additionally, we will continue to incorporate new and more advanced metrics to refine our forecasts further. We hope this report gives you a better understanding of how we measure and continually improve the accuracy of our weather data.

Our framework combines operational security practices, controlled access, service resilience, and documented management systems aligned with internationally recognised standards, including **ISO 27001** and **ISO 9001**. OpenWeather’s security and compliance approach is designed to protect information assets, support secure service delivery, and provide the level of assurance expected by procurement, IT, legal, and risk teams. ## Certifications and Standards OpenWeather maintains management systems aligned with internationally recognised standards for information security and quality management. - **ISO 27001** supports our information security management framework, including risk-based controls for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets. - **ISO 9001** supports our quality management framework, including documented processes, operational consistency, and continual improvement across service delivery. These standards strengthen our ability to support enterprise customers with structured governance, repeatable processes, and ongoing control improvement. ## Security Governance OpenWeather maintains formal policies, controls, and operational procedures to manage information security across systems, people, and processes. Our objective is to reduce the risk of cyber incidents, unauthorised access, data exposure, and operational disruption while supporting secure and dependable service delivery. This framework includes: - documented policies and procedures - defined security responsibilities - risk-based management of information assets - operational review and continuous improvement ## Data Classification and Protection OpenWeather applies formal policies for the classification and handling of information. Information is categorised into three classes: **public**, **internal**, and **restricted**, with corresponding controls applied according to sensitivity and business impact. - **Public information** includes non-sensitive material such as weather forecasts and observation history. - **Internal information** is treated as confidential and protected through appropriate access controls. - **Restricted information** may include customer-sensitive data such as emails and billing addresses, and is subject to tighter access controls and encryption measures. OpenWeather maintains an asset inventory across hosted and cloud resources to identify where information is stored and which controls apply. This also supports visibility across the software stack and timely response to vulnerabilities. ## Security Controls OpenWeather applies administrative, physical, and technical controls as part of its security framework. - **Administrative controls** include access management, policy enforcement, and personnel-related processes governing user access. - **Physical controls** are designed to prevent unauthorised physical access to servers and processing environments. - **Technical controls** include secure configuration and encryption for data at rest and in transit where appropriate. Together, these controls help support the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and services. ## Access Control OpenWeather applies controlled access practices designed to ensure that access to systems and data is limited to authorised users and approved purposes only. Our approach includes: - **least privilege**, restricting access to only the resources required for a role or function - **default-deny**, limiting network traffic except where explicitly permitted - **role-based access provisioning**, subject to management approval - password management requirements designed to reduce account compromise risk These controls help reduce unnecessary exposure and support accountability across systems and environments. ## Incident Response OpenWeather maintains incident-response procedures for the identification, investigation, management, and recovery of security incidents. In the event of suspected mishandling or unauthorised access to customer-related data, incidents are evaluated and managed in accordance with defined internal policies and operational procedures. This includes: - incident reporting and escalation - investigation and recovery - root-cause analysis - evidence handling where required - corrective improvement of controls and processes ## Reliability and Service Continuity Enterprise customers benefit from operational monitoring and service continuity practices designed to support reliable service delivery. Contractual commitments for data delivery and service availability are defined in the applicable commercial agreement. Weather data remains probabilistic by nature. OpenWeather guarantees the delivery, availability, and performance of the service, not specific meteorological outcomes. ## Privacy and Data Protection OpenWeather applies privacy and data protection practices designed to support the responsible handling of personal and customer-related information. Our [Privacy Policy](/privacy-policy.md) explains how we manage data collection, use, and protection in accordance with applicable policies and legal requirements. ## Enterprise Assurance OpenWeather’s security and compliance framework is designed to support enterprise procurement, due diligence, and operational onboarding. If your organisation requires additional information during supplier review, our team can support the appropriate enterprise engagement process. --- # Bulk Data Delivery OpenWeather offers to deliver its data not only through its range of APIs but also via a number of other channels. One of them is ‘**Bulk Data Delivery**’ which is functionality through which OpenWeather collects data on behalf of the user and delivers a single, straightforward file with already collected data (e.g. forecasts) directly to the end-user. In some of the cases, it can be a more convenient option as opposed to collecting the data via API. ## Why Bulk Download? **Lower development effort and faster integration of weather data: **You do not need to set up API infrastructure in the first place and address the complexity of managing API requests, no need to control the rate of API calls, no need to handle retries, error responses of the API, and no need to further process data once it is downloaded. **Flexibility and convenience: **Data are already collected in the format that the user requires. You do not need to aggregate or apply any further processing whatsoever because the data are provided in exactly the format that has been agreed beforehand. **Low risk: **Unless the user is covered by our Data Protection Coverage (this feature is available within our Enterprise subscription), handling API incorrectly can cause gaps in data (for example, because of temporary downtime on the user’s side or incorrect format of API requests). In the case of Bulk download, we can store a number of backup files (e.g. 7-day archive) to ensure that the user is protected against these risks. **Easier for high-intensity usage: **While Bulk Download can be used on a small scale, consumption of data at high intensity requires an extra level of care. Throttling can occur on the side of the user if data are not processed correctly or, for example, a network issue relating to network congestion can occur. These problems are irrelevant for this type of data consumption. ## How it works? **Step 1.** OpenWeather expert reviews the user’s objective with weather data to define datasets that will need to be collected on behalf of a client (e.g. hourly forecast) and parameters (e.g. temperature, precipitation), set of locations (e.g. stores of a retail chain, ZIP codes of the US, coordinates, etc.), frequency of data collection for all locations (e.g. hourly), and need for a backup archive (e.g. last 7 days). **Step 2.** Feedback is exchanged with the user to account for potential edge cases or expected changes. For example, list of locations can change through time (e.g. monthly) which can be accounted for. **Step 3.** After specification is defined, sample of the final bulk file is exported for a client and submitted for a review. **Step 4.** Once everything is agreed on, the bulk collection process begins. Data collection begins on OpenWeather’s side and the final file can conveniently be delivered through various methods such as uploaded to our servers for direct download; Amazon S3;FTP/SFTP; Email; and other options. **Step 5.** OpenWeather team is then maintaining the data collection process and bulk file itself overseeing its updates, formatting, and distribution to ensure that you receive the most current and comprehensive weather information in an efficient and accessible manner. ## Examples While this page describes the custom version of this functionality, note that we already collect standard bulk files with pre-defined lists of locations, types of data, and update frequencies. You can review some examples by following this link: [Bulk Data Examples](https://openweathermap.org/bulk). You are welcome to enquire about free trial options if you would like to experiment with this functionality. Please reach out via [info@openweathermap.org](mailto:info@openweathermap.org). ## Pricing Please reach out to our team via [info@openweathermap.org](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) and we will be glad to evaluate your requirements. --- # Customer stories We are proud to provide accurate and precise weather data for corporate industries and educational and research institutes, trusted by many companies and professionals globally. ### When weather data becomes art: OpenWeather at TOFROM YAESU, Tokyo ![Tokyo](/api/media/file/DSC05274.jpg?v=1790697056235) *Art project* OpenWeather climate data is often associated with operational planning, energy optimisation and risk management. But in the heart of Tokyo, it has recently become a part of something very different: a work of art. At the newly opened TOFROM YAESU TOWER, a 51-storey, 250-metre landmark just opposite Tokyo Station, weather data provided by OpenWeather contributes to “Tides of time”, a permanent digital installation by Japanese motion designer and creative director Kota Iguchi. This artwork forms part of TOFROM YAESU TOWER ART: Mermaid's Town, a collection of works exploring time, memory and the changing identity of Tokyo’s Yaesu district. “Tides of time” is not a fixed animation. Inspired by early optical-animation techniques, it uses OpenWeather data to create a constantly evolving visual experience. Sunrise and sunset times determine the visual transitions throughout the day, while weather forecast data at 3-hour intervals adjusts the colour palette and atmosphere according to conditions such as clear or cloudy weather. In this way, the installation responds to real-world conditions and transforms weather information into creative material. OpenWeather data usually helps organisations make practical decisions across industries such as energy, transport, insurance and many more. “Tides of time” demonstrates a different angle: using environmental data to create experiences that respond to the world around us. At TOFROM YAESU TOWER, weather data is not only helping us understand the world, but becoming part of how we experience it. ### [Repowering London](https://www.repowering.org.uk/) ![solar_panels](/api/media/file/iStock-1177478363.jpg?v=1789675740622) *Social Enterprise / Community Energy * OpenWeather worked with Repowering London to compare actual solar generation against weather-based performance models at two community-owned sites. For community-owned solar, spotting underperformance quickly can make a real difference to the value returned to local communities. *“Good monitoring and analysis can make a real difference to the performance of community energy projects. In the case of Dalgarno, the analysis helped us identify that the site was continuing to underperform even after an inverter had been replaced. For community-owned solar, being able to spot and understand these issues means we can protect generation, improve the long-term performance of our assets and make sure more of the value of the energy we generate stays with the community.”* Lorraine Haskell, Head of Asset Management, Repowering London Read full customer story [here](https://openweather.co.uk/case_study/case/every-kilowatt-counts-improving-performance-community-solar). ### Cumberland Council ![Winter_road](/api/media/file/cumberland_case.jpg?v=1789651601785) *Government * OpenWeather provides Cumberland with a Winter Road Maintenance Dashboard and expert meteorological consultancy, enabling a shift from broad assumptions to targeted, route-level decisions.

The OpenWeather API's ability to reliably provide this data is a key differentiator for the effectiveness of our platform. We believe that our collaboration has a significant and positive impact, especially in the Brazilian context, where wildfires represent a recurrent and severe environmental and economic challenge." *Carlos Alberto Martins de Oliveira Filho, * *CTO, Attempo* ### [Avionero](https://avionero.com/) ![avionero](/api/media/file/avionero.jpg?v=1754923542168) *the leading travel search platform* "Travelers are looking for more than just competitive flight prices, they are also seeking destination recommendations that ensure their journeys are both enjoyable and interesting. One challenge for Avionero was ensuring that destination recommendations matched not only user preferences but also seasonal weather conditions. By integrating OpenWeather’s bulk historical data and live forecasts into our search engine we could solve this. The platform now matches weather conditions to user preferences, ensuring the recommendations are seasonally appropriate. For example, when a traveler searches for a warm beach destination during a particular time of year, the system uses OpenWeather data to avoid recommending locations that are likely to be cold or rainy. For travel dates within the reach of OpenWeather’s live forecast, the platform dynamically updates recommendations, steering customers away from destinations with poor weather conditions. Weather information is also presented in a processed, user-friendly format, giving travelers an at-a-glance overview of expected conditions at their chosen destination. For example, when searching for flights to Manila, users can see detailed weather insights per month, helping them make more informed decisions. OpenWeather’s data has made it possible for us to deliver personalized, weather-aware recommendations that our users love.

In Venezuela, as experienced, access to reliable, up-to-date, and publicly available weather data has historically been very limited. This information gap, exacerbated by the country’s socio-economic problems and weakened institutional capacity, creates a major obstacle to effective environmental management and sustainable development. This lack of accessible and reliable data has several key consequences that we have felt directly. The OpenWeather Student Initiative has provided us with an invaluable opportunity by facilitating free access to their API. The wealth of data it offers, including current information, detailed forecasts, and even the extensive historical archive is critical to overcoming the information deficit we have traditionally faced. This ability to obtain accurate and up-to-date data also hinders informed decision-making at the government and community levels in Venezuela. By providing a reliable source of information, OpenWeather has the potential to empower authorities and communities to make more effective decisions in territorial planning, risk management, and response to extreme weather events. The reduction in the effectiveness of the conservation and management of our natural resources is another direct consequence of the lack of data. Not only are OpenWeather’s services directly benefiting our research work by providing us with the necessary tools for rigorous analysis, but they also have the potential to generate a significant positive impact in Venezuela by improving access to information critical to environmental management, decision-making, conservation, and citizen participation. *Coordinator of the Geographic Information Systems and Environmental Modeling Laboratory (LSIGMA) * *Simón Bolívar University in Venezuela * *Carlos E González R.* ### [University of Turin](https://en.unito.it/) ![University of Turin](/api/media/file/Turin.jpg?v=1751639429020) *Education* With about 120 campuses distributed throughout the Piedmont region, the University of Turin represents the largest university administration in the region, making an innovative approach to building management crucial. Our biggest goal is to transform the buildings of the University of Turin into real smart cities, where innovation and sustainability meet. As a public administration, we have a duty to be a vector of innovation and ecological transition, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Imagine being able to know, for each building, what the emissions, the quality of the environment and the efficiency in the use of resources are. This data will allow us to identify critical issues and intervene in a targeted manner. Partnering with OpenWeather is key to collecting accurate data and turning it into practical solutions for smart building management. We have already set up a network of indoor sensors that are collecting data in real time, and by 2025 we plan to double the number of sensors installed, further expanding the coverage and accuracy of the analyses. We are already seeing early results and working closely with the energy plant management teams to identify and implement targeted improvements. Embracing digital transformation means focusing on the interoperability of services, creating a connected and accessible ecosystem that can support the growth of the university community and beyond. *Fabio Forneron * *ICT Manager at University of Turin* ### [APPY WEATHER](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appyweather.appyweather&hl=en_GB) ![APPY WEATHER](/api/media/file/agriculture-banner.jpg?v=1751639554763) *Software company* The new version of Appy Weather is leveraging the new [One Call API 3.0](https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-4). As the app was previously dependent on the Dark Sky API, I was extremely relieved to effortlessly transition weather providers. OpenWeather were quick to react to these developments and must be commended for their dynamism here. The scope of minutely, hourly and daily data meets my requirements as they’re enough to help my users plan for the next hour, rest of the day, tomorrow and the week ahead. The government weather alerts endpoint also ensures users are always in the know and can plan ahead confidently. The API design overall makes so much sense that the app’s navigation system effectively adopts a similar architecture. Thinking ahead, I’m excited about the super impressive 47+ years of historical archive as well as forecast data for the next 1.5 years also available in the API. These are endpoints that present interesting opportunities, such as to help with travel or crop planning. The possibilities are endless. I have an app used by all types of people/professionals, so I know they will be appreciate having access to data that will make them more effective planners. I can’t wait to play with these! Additionally, there are plans for the app to acknowledge the climate crisis, and I feel OpenWeather’s other rich API endpoints, such as one dedicated to air pollution, provide me with the platform to build features that might help users better understand it and hopefully do something productive about it too in their everyday lives. Finally, besides the API’s breadth and depth, I’ve been a highly satisfied customer for several years not only because OpenWeather provides excellent value for money, but mostly because they are incredibly supportive and understanding of my app’s independent nature. On multiple occasions they have demonstrated this, making me feel an extremely valued customer who feels confident that I can depend on them for the foreseeable future.

Enterprise is a **contract-based weather data service** designed for organisations that require predictable commercial terms, enterprise licensing, and formal procurement compatibility. It provides scalable, machine-to-machine delivery of weather data under an Enterprise License Agreement. ### How is Enterprise different from self-service API subscriptions? Self-service APIs are online subscriptions governed by a public license and intended for developer-led use. Enterprise is delivered under a **proprietary commercial licence**, supports procurement and legal review, and allows controlled internal and commercial use without public licence obligations. ### Who should use Enterprise? Enterprise is suitable for organisations that: - Require a signed contract or legal review - Use weather data in internal systems or commercial products - Need predictable annual pricing and invoicing - Cannot rely on standard public licences - Operate under formal procurement or compliance frameworks ### What does the Enterprise base subscription include? The Enterprise base subscription provides: - Contractual access to Enterprise services - Enterprise licensing for commercial and internal use - Standard weather data feeds - Predictable annual commercial terms - Eligibility to add extensions and customisations ### What is the cost of the Enterprise Service? The Enterprise Service is offered as a **fixed annual base subscription priced at £3,000 per month**. Additional data products, higher volumes, or customisation are available as **paid extensions**. ### Can Enterprise be customised? Yes. Enterprise acts as a **configurable framework**. On top of the base subscription, OpenWeather can combine, adjust, and customise available data products, APIs, delivery methods, and contractual terms to meet specific customer requirements. All customisation is provided as paid extensions to the base Enterprise subscription. ### Can we purchase Enterprise extensions without the base subscription? No. All Enterprise extensions and customisations require an **active Enterprise base subscription** and cannot be purchased independently. ### What type of licence applies to Enterprise data? Enterprise data is provided under a **bespoke Enterprise licence**, not under ODbL. The licence allows internal, commercial, and customer-facing use without share-alike or attribution requirements. ### What is the difference between the Enterprise License and ODbL licenses? [**ODbL license applies to OpenWeather’s self-service API subscriptions.**](https://openweathermap.org/price)They are public standard data licenses designed for broad reuse and transparency. These licenses allow commercial use, but they come with specific obligations, such as attribution. They are governed by public, non-negotiable terms and are typically suitable for individuals, startups, research projects, and small teams. [**The Enterprise License**](https://openweather.co.uk/pricing-corp) is a proprietary, contract-based license intended for organizations that use weather data as a governed input to business systems and products. It removes public license obligations and instead provides custom commercial terms, controlled usage rights, and legal certainty for procurement, compliance, and long-term operations. Enterprise agreements are tailored to specific technical, operational, and legal requirements and are aligned with standard corporate procurement processes. In short: - ODbL → public licenses with non-negotiable obligations - Enterprise License → negotiated, procurement-ready license with controlled rights and guarantees ### Is Enterprise suitable for internal operational systems? Yes. Enterprise is specifically designed for integration into internal platforms, analytics tools, operational workflows, and decision-support systems. ### Does Enterprise guarantee weather accuracy? Weather data is probabilistic by nature. Enterprise provides contractual guarantees for service delivery, availability, and performance, not guarantees of specific meteorological outcomes. ### How does procurement typically work? Enterprise follows a procurement-friendly process: 1. Definition of requirements and scope 2. Commercial and technical alignment 3. Execution of the Enterprise License Agreement and Order Form 4. Secure access provisioning and onboarding ### Can Enterprise be purchased via purchase order and invoice? Yes. Enterprise supports PO-based purchasing, invoicing, and standard vendor onboarding procedures. ### Can we start small and expand later? Yes. Customers may start with the Enterprise base subscription and a limited scope, and add products, volumes, or customisation later via additional Order Forms. ### Is a trial available for the Enterprise Service? Yes. Enterprise trials may be provided on a limited, case-by-case basis to support technical evaluation or proof-of-concept projects. Trials are typically time-limited and scope-restricted and do not replace the Enterprise subscription. Availability and conditions are agreed individually as part of the Enterprise engagement process. ### How can we contact the Enterprise sales team? You can contact our Enterprise sales team to discuss requirements, pricing, trials, or procurement-related questions. Use the **“Contact our Enterprise team”** button on this page or reach out via the contact details provided, and a member of our team will get back to you. ### Why does OpenWeather keep “Open” in its name if it delivers enterprise services? “Open” reflects our principle that weather data should be broadly accessible. Weather influences infrastructure, logistics, agriculture, energy, insurance, aviation, and public safety, which makes reliable access to weather information essential for businesses and for society as a whole. We provide global weather data to individuals, developers, researchers, and organisations through reliable, high performance APIs and data services. For customers, this means access through structured, secure, and professionally governed technology. OpenWeather delivers data through authenticated APIs, monitored infrastructure, and clearly defined licensing models. Access is controlled, usage rights are defined, and services operate under transparent commercial terms, including formal contracts where required. For procurement and compliance teams: - **Access is authenticated and controlled**: API keys, monitored systems, and managed infrastructure. - **Data delivery is secure**: machine-to-machine services designed for corporate IT environments. - **Licensing is explicit**: defined terms for self-service subscriptions and formal Enterprise contracts for organisations requiring governed procurement. - **Commercial terms are structured**: predictable pricing, defined usage scope, and contractual clarity where required. - **Operational model is professional**: scalable infrastructure supporting millions of API calls globally. “Open” describes **accessibility** of weather data as a technology service. For organisations requiring contract-based licensing, procurement documentation, and defined compliance terms, OpenWeather provides a fully governed Enterprise framework. ### Why does customization require Enterprise pricing? Customization is not a simple feature toggle. Customization transforms a mass-production API into a partially bespoke service. The cost reflects not just development, but the long-term responsibility to maintain, support, and operate that customization reliably. It involves: - Solution architecture review - Backend engineering and QA - Production deployment adjustments - Ongoing regression testing - Compatibility management with future platform updates - Dedicated monitoring and operational responsibility Once individual development and maintenance are required, the service transitions from a self-service subscription to an enterprise-grade engagement with contractual accountability. ### Can you make “small” adjustments within the Developer or Professional plan? No. Startup, Developer, Professional, and Expert subscriptions operate under open licenses and standardized technical conditions. To maintain performance stability and cost efficiency across millions of API calls, we do not alter endpoints, parameters, response structures, or processing logic within self-service plans. ### Why does Enterprise start from £3,000 per month? The Enterprise entry level reflects: - Allocation of engineering resources - Long-term maintenance of customized functionality - Controlled change management - Enterprise-oriented licensing terms - Procurement-friendly contracting - Dedicated technical and commercial coordination Even minor customization creates permanent operational overhead beyond the scope of a shared monthly price of a self-serviced subscription. --- # Reliability & Support ## Reliability Enterprise customers benefit from operational measures designed to support dependable service delivery, including: - operational monitoring and service continuity practices - transparent responsibilities defined contractually Enterprise provides contractual guarantees for data delivery and service availability, with technical parameters defined in the commercial agreement.

[Talk to sales](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) ## OpenWeather Hyper Local Forecasting System The OpenWeather modelling system blends global model outputs with radar, satellite, and thousands of station/IoT observations. By using machine learning it corrects biases and produces a single, unified forecast with frequent (every 10 minutes) updates. It offers “NIR” (Nowcasting Immediate Range) for the next 3 hours and extends out to weekly and monthly horizons by incorporating global and climate models. OpenWeather’s forecasting system comprises two major modules: [Full list of data sources](/openweather-weather-models.md) ## 1. OWHL™ NIR Nowcast Short-Range Forecast **The OWHL NIR (Nearly Real-Time) forecasting system uses an extensive range of global data sources, each contributing to accuracy, resolution, and timeliness.** Weather stations provide highly precise measurements with an accuracy of ±0.1°C for temperature, ±0.5 m/s for wind speed, and ±2% for humidity. They operate at a fine resolution of approximately 10 meters and offer near-instantaneous updates with latency measured in fractions of a second. This makes them essential for real-time monitoring and verifying forecast models. Radar systems, sourced from agencies such as the Met Office, ECMWF, and NOAA, provide detailed precipitation data with an accuracy of ±1 dBZ and can distinguish between rain and snow with about 85-90% accuracy. Their resolution ranges from 250 meters to 1 kilometer, depending on the radar type and range. With a latency of only a few minutes, radar is crucial for tracking storm development and short-term severe weather forecasting. Meteorological satellites offer broader coverage, capturing large-scale atmospheric patterns. Their temperature retrievals have an uncertainty of ±0.5°C, and cloud detection accuracy is around 90%. Depending on the sensor type, resolution varies from 1 kilometer (high-resolution visible imagery) to 5 kilometers (infrared and microwave sensors). However, they introduce a latency of up to 10 minutes due to data transmission and processing. Satellites are invaluable for monitoring global weather systems, tracking storms, and analyzing cloud cover. By integrating data from these sources, Openweather achieves a balance between local precision and large-scale atmospheric analysis, leading to more accurate and timely weather predictions. This data undergoes rigorous quality control and integration processes, producing a refined global forecast at a resolution of approximately 100 m. Short-term forecasts are updated every 1 minute, offering accurate weather predictions for up to 3 hours ahead. ## 2. OWHL™ Middle-Range and Long-Range Forecast For medium and longer-term forecasts, OpenWeather utilizes deterministic outputs from respected global numerical weather prediction models. The OWML™ ML module aggregates and normalizes data from these sources, employing advanced AI technologies to manage data gaps and enhance forecasting resolution up to 1 km, with forecast horizons extending up to 1.5 years. Forecasts are recalculated every 1 hour, with data continually archived for historical analyses and future model enhancements. List of models: - The **OWHL™ NIR (OpenWeather Nowcast Model)** provides immediate short-term forecasts for 0–3 hours ahead. It achieves high-resolution forecasting with resolutions ranging from 100 meters to 1 kilometer. Utilizing real-time radar, satellite imagery, and sensor data, this model updates every minute. The OWHL ™ NIR employs AI-enhanced precipitation tracking, delivering precise predictions, particularly effective in urban and densely populated regions worldwide. - The **ECMWF IFS (Integrated Forecasting System)** excels in medium-range forecasting, known for its superior accuracy and sophisticated 4D-Var data assimilation techniques. It operates at approximately 9 kilometers resolution for deterministic forecasts and about 18 kilometers for ensemble forecasts, updating twice daily. Its industry-leading probabilistic ensemble forecasts and storm tracking capabilities make it an essential tool for weather prediction at a global scale, particularly for Europe and the North Atlantic region. - The **GEM (CMC, Canadian Meteorological Centre)** specializes in medium-range forecasts tailored to North America, providing resolutions of approximately 25 kilometers. Integrated into the North American Ensemble Forecast System (NAEFS), the GEM model effectively captures North American geography, complex terrains, and high-latitude weather patterns. It is updated twice daily. - The **NOAA GFS (Global Forecast System)** is designed for medium-range forecasting, offering predictions up to 16 days in advance. Initially, it provides a high resolution of 13 kilometers, tapering to 34 kilometers after the first 10 days. The GFS model updates four times daily, covering global atmospheric conditions comprehensively. It is widely recognized for its open-access data, which supports broad-scale weather analysis and predictions globally. - The **NOAA CFS (Climate Forecast System)** focuses on extended-range forecasting, providing seasonal climate anomaly predictions with resolutions around 56 kilometers. Updated daily, it employs ensemble methods for long-range outlooks, utilizing coupled ocean-atmosphere modeling. It effectively predicts seasonal temperature and precipitation trends on a global scale. - The **WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) Models** provide high-resolution regional forecasts, typically between 1 to 3 kilometers resolution. These models are highly detailed and customizable, regularly updated hourly or as required. They are ideal for forecasting localized weather events, including thunderstorms, urban microclimates, and severe weather conditions, tailored to specific regional needs. ## Delivery with Global Content Data Network (CDN) OpenWeather’s Global Content Data Network (CDN) distributes data worldwide with low latency and high availability (99.9% availability), enabling minute-by-minute local forecasts to reach users quickly. Forecast data from the OWHL™ Hyper Local model is disseminated via OpenWeather’s robust Content Data Network (CDN).

Current conditions refresh about every 10 minutes with sub-5-minute observation latency, so your view isn’t stale when weather turns volatile. Hourly forecasts roll 48 hours ahead with 1-hour resolution; so you can staff, stage, and schedule with confidence. ### Proven accuracy, quantified. We publish clear targets of ±1 °C temperature, ±5% humidity for current conditions; 85–95% accuracy in the 0–6-hour window; so you can defend decisions to operations, finance, and insurers. ### Instant, polygon-level alerts. Government weather warnings arrive and propagate in near real time (often under a minute) and include precise polygon boundaries. That means you don’t shut down an entire county because of a storm two towns over; you act on exactly what intersects your assets. ### True site specificity. We intersect those alert polygons with each installation’s exact coordinates and calculate proximity, path tracking, and impact timing turning a generic warning into a clear “what, where, when” for your crews. ### A data pipeline you can trust. Behind the scenes is a full QA stack: validation, cross-station checks, gap filling, bias correction, temporal smoothing, spatial interpolation, and even model ensembles. Bottom line: fewer outliers, fewer surprises, fewer bad calls. ### Built for renewables, not just “weather.” We don’t stop at temperature and wind. For solar we ingest GHI/DNI/DHI and other atmospheric factors; for wind we model multi-altitude profiles and map them to your turbine power curves. Result: production forecasts that match your equipment and terrain, not a generic grid square. ### Global scale, consistent results. With coverage drawing on 200,000+ stations and decades of history, you standardize your playbook across regions and no more juggling different feeds market by market. ### Safety bias when it counts. Our “MAX rule” always takes the higher of the detailed environmental assessment or the official alert severity. If either says “this is critical,” nothing masks it and you never miss the big one. [Book a demo](https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/dchupryna1) ## Energy Dashboard overview Picture your entire solar and wind fleet on one screen, every site lit up with a clear status, the risky ones floated to the top, and practical next steps spelled out for your team. That’s the Energy Dashboard: an enterprise-grade monitoring and risk platform built specifically for renewables, combining real-time weather, operational risk analysis, and production forecasting so you can protect people and keep megawatts on plan. The Dashboard continuously watches the environment around each asset using advanced algorithms and official government alerts, then turns that signal into an easy **Red-Amber-Green score from 0 to 100**. The engine literally takes the higher of two calculations (a detailed environmental assessment or the official alert severity), so critical conditions never get buried. Scores update at least hourly, and every risk band such as Low, Moderate, High, Extreme, comes with clear guidance, from “monitor and carry on” to “shut down and evacuate.” **When weather turns**, you see it and you know what to do. “Installations Requiring Attention” automatically surfaces your two highest-risk sites and expands to a full list with color-coded borders that match the current risk level, so dispatch decisions are instant. The fleet map paints every site by current risk and overlays live alert polygons; click to see the details, cluster dense regions, pan/zoom smoothly, or jump straight to a single asset. It’s a fast, visual triage tool built for storm days. **Accuracy** starts at the data layer. The system pulls live conditions and 48-hour forecasts from the OpenWeather API, integrates government-issued weather warnings with precise polygon boundaries, and refreshes conditions about every 10 minutes. Under the hood there’s a full quality-assurance pipeline of validation, cross-checks across stations, bias correction, temporal smoothing, even model ensembles so the inputs you act on are trustworthy. Alert processing classifies Minor/Moderate/Severe/Extreme, tracks storm paths and proximity, and triggers immediately when authorities update a warning. **For solar teams**, the Dashboard “speaks PV.” It uses specialized solar radiation data such as GHI, DNI, and DHI, to forecast production and compare actual output against theoretical, making it obvious when cloud cover, heat, or dust is dragging you down. You’ll also see the design and setup factors that matter day to day: panel tilt and azimuth, power density, and live performance ratio. Those inputs don’t just drive forecasts; they influence risk weighting, so a site’s unique build is reflected in its risk score. And because dust storms, extreme heat, hail, and snow/ice are modeled explicitly, you can plan cleaning cycles, heat-stress mitigation, or snow removal before they cost you production. **Wind operators** get equally deep intelligence. You’ll see hub height, rated power, and multi-altitude wind profiling tied directly to your turbine power curves, so generation forecasts aren’t generic, they’re specific to your machines and terrain. Safety features monitor for storm-force winds (with typical shutdown thresholds), icing conditions, lightning risk, and turbulence that can stress components, helping you decide exactly when to feather, when to pause maintenance, and when to shut down. Capacity-factor and efficiency views round out the operational picture, from the next 15 minutes to the next 24 hours. Because numbers tell the story, **the charts** are built for action. Solar and wind views include hourly and 15-minute generation traces with weather overlays, plus 24-hour forecasts with confidence intervals ideal for scheduling crews, lining up curtailment decisions, or aligning with trading and grid commitments. **The everyday workflow is simple.** Add each installation with accurate coordinates and specs; the system validates inputs, builds a baseline efficiency profile, and starts real-time monitoring with hourly risk updates. From there it continuously compares actual vs. predicted performance, so you’re always learning and tightening operations. Best-practice checklists and a lightweight troubleshooting guide (from “verify GPS” to “update parameters”) keep your team moving, and training resources are built in.

Duty teams can assess network conditions and drill into specific links, prioritising higher-risk areas, known cold spots and exposed sections.Targeted decision-making reduces avoidable call-outs and lowers seasonal salt usage while maintaining safety. Efficiency is strengthened through consistent workflows that record shift activity: selected routes, key temperature and ice indicators (including sub-zero periods and minimum temperatures), treatment timing, spreading method and salt type. This reduces manual administration, removes fragmented notes and standardises reporting. Treatment records can be automatically generated as clear PDF reports, supporting handovers, audits and post-event reviews without additional workload. Because actions are logged by route and salt type, depot stock levels update automatically.To reduce uncertainty from sparse observation networks, OpenWeather is running proof-of-concepts to expand capture of on-premise and near-road conditions. These focus on temperature and surface heat dynamics, wind behaviour, precipitation, air quality and related climate signals.

New systems appear automatically the moment they form - no configuration, no storm lists to maintain on your side. ### How dangerous it already is. ![fausto2_0.png](/api/media/file/fausto2_0.png?v=1784910770021) The storm-force wind zone around the center - accounting for the fact that it's never symmetrical. You see not a dot, but the actual area of risk: exactly where conditions are dangerous for vessels, ports, and assets. A storm's center may pass a hundred miles away while its wind field still reaches your operations - and that's exactly what this layer reveals. ### Where it's headed. ![fausto3_0.png](/api/media/file/fausto3_0.png?v=1784911184167) Our forecast of the storm's movement up to 10 days out - not the opinion of a single model, but the combined judgment of the world's leading forecast centers across Europe and North America. Every forecast point shows expected wind strength as well, so you know not only where the storm will be, but how strong it will arrive. The track updates as new model runs come in, so your picture always reflects the latest global forecast cycle. [Talk to sales](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) ## What's in the data Every response is a set of clearly defined components - here's what your team receives. ### Storm identity Name, ID, ocean basin, and Saffir–Simpson category for every active system worldwide. ### Current conditions Centre position, maximum sustained wind, and central pressure - from official best-track sources. ### Storm-force wind zones The dangerous wind area by quadrant - around the current position and at forecast times. ### Forecast track Consensus path up to 10 days ahead, with expected wind strength at every forecast step. ### Uncertainty zone How far the forecast models diverge at each lead time - forecast confidence you can see. ### Individual model tracks Per-model forecasts available on request for expert analysis and model comparison. [Talk to sales](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) Storm Tracker is built for business decisions - from risk desks to routing teams. Talk to our team for evaluation access. ### Energy & Utilities ![energy](/api/media/file/iStock-1207400224.jpg?v=1774435495445) For energy companies, a tropical cyclone is not one risk but many: offshore platforms and wind farms in the direct path, coastal substations exposed to storm-force winds, transmission lines crossing the landfall zone, and repair crews whose safety depends on timing. The costliest decisions - shutting down production, de-energising lines, evacuating personnel - must be made days before the storm hits, when forecasts still disagree. Storm Tracker gives energy operators that lead time with confidence attached. The consensus track shows the most likely path up to 10 days out; the wind zone shows which assets fall inside dangerous conditions - not just those near the storm's centreline; and the uncertainty zone tells you when the forecast is solid enough to trigger costly protective action, and when to wait for the next model cycle. ### Insurance & Risk ![Insurance](/api/media/file/insurance.png?v=1750860945490) When a hurricane forms, every insurer asks the same questions: which policies sit in the path, what losses should we reserve for, and how do we brief reinsurers and regulators before landfall? Answering them from news reports and a single official cone leaves too much room for surprise - and post-event, verifying where storm-force winds actually reached is just as critical for fair, fast claims handling. Storm Tracker turns portfolio exposure into a live geospatial answer. Overlay your insured locations against the forecast track, the multi-model uncertainty zone, and the official NHC cone to quantify exposure under both your view and the official one. The wind-zone layer sharpens the picture further: it distinguishes properties inside actual storm-force conditions from those merely near the track -a difference worth millions in reserving accuracy. ### Logistics & Maritime ![logistics](/api/media/file/logistics3.jpg?v=1752521141089) A cyclone symbol on a chart says little about where conditions are actually dangerous. Storm-force winds routinely extend a hundred nautical miles or more from the centre - and almost always asymmetrically. Vessels, ports, and delivery networks planned around the "storm dot" either take unnecessary risk on the dangerous side or burn fuel and days avoiding ocean that is perfectly safe. Storm Tracker shows the real shape of the hazard. Current and forecast wind zones reveal which side of the storm is dangerous and how far the risk reaches; the consensus track projects the corridor to avoid for the days ahead; and the uncertainty zone tells routing teams how much sea room to leave - tight margins when models agree, generous ones when they don't. Ports and terminals get the same picture for berthing, closure, and workforce decisions.

It supports unlimited storage cluster horizontal scalability combined with instant access to any location, time or weather parameter requested. ### Real-Time Petabytes Data Processing ![ ](/api/media/file/tech3.jpg?v=1751286264395) In addition to serving our pre-calculated forecast and historical data we implement on-demand real-time data processing that enables a more precise and rich set of weather parameters to be returned for particular geographical locations. ### High Availability & Scalability ![ ](/api/media/file/tech2.jpg?v=1751286282277) Our main goal is to deliver weather data to our customers in the most reliable way exactly at the moment they need it, so we developed uniquely flexible architecture for our API servers, multi-level intermediate caches and backend data storage which allows both to sustain tens of thousands requests from all over the world and rapidly scale out to handle peak loads which may be 2-3 times higher than average. ## Accuracy and Quality OpenWeather provides accurate weather data by drawing on trusted sources such as weather stations, satellites, radar systems, and advanced models like GFS, ECMWF, and its own OWHL™️. These partnerships with the UK Met Office and other national meteorological agencies boost reliability, with updates released every 10 minutes to ensure precision. Remarkably, the OWHL™️ model reports less than 1% of temperature predictions deviating by more than 5°C. Widely recognised as a leading provider of short-term forecasts, OpenWeather acknowledges that accuracy diminishes over longer periods due to atmospheric complexity. Thus, while short-term forecasts remain highly reliable, it is prudent to view predictions beyond a week with a degree of caution. Continuously refining its models using real-time data, OpenWeather delivers reliable forecasts worldwide, covering both remote and densely populated areas. It also offers minute-by-minute precipitation data and hyperlocal insights, establishing itself as a trusted choice for businesses across the globe. [Accuracy report](/accuracy-and-quality.md)
