Details on Weather Data
- Real-time or current weather data is sourced from WeatherAPI and thousands of live weather stations and personal weather stations from around the world, updated every 10-15 minutes.
- Forecast weather is derived from WeatherAPI and our in-house weather forecasting application, which leverages raw data from various agencies such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), NASA weather satellite imagery, NOAA GFS2 model, and JMA model. It incorporates factors like terrain, population, altitude, and others before providing the final forecast data. This forecast data is updated every 4-6 hours daily.
- Our historical weather data comprises an archive of forecast data from WeatherAPI, which is archived just after midnight for the previous day—for example, data for 1st January 2019 is archived just after midnight on 2nd January 2019. Our historical data repository spans from 1st January 2010 to the present.
Utilizing advanced AI and machine learning technologies, alongside the comprehensive data from WeatherAPI, we ensure fast, reliable, and accurate weather forecasting for any geo-point on the globe, covering all countries around the world.
