Example of weather forecast API usage
| (Now) | 13:00 | 14:00 | 15:00 | 16:00 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air temperature | -14 °C | -14 °C | -13 °C | -14 °C | -14 °C |
| Feels-like temperature | -22 °C | -21 °C | -21 °C | -21 °C | -21 °C |
| Cloud cover | 52% | 52% | 52% | 52% | 52% |
| Precipitation | 0 mm | 0 mm | 0 mm | 0 mm | 0 mm |
| Wind speed | 24.8 km/h | 23.2 km/h | 24.2 km/h | 22.8 km/h | 26.5 km/h |
| Wind direction | W | W | W | W | W |
| Wind gusts | 53 km/h | 54 km/h | 53 km/h | 52 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Atmospheric pressure | 103 kPa | 103 kPa | 103 kPa | 103 kPa | 103 kPa |
| Humidity | 63% | 71% | 70% | 70% | 69% |

Best-in-class accuracy
Our data are approximately 5% more accurate for a 2-day forecast and 12% more accurate for a 7-day forecast. Forecast accuracy is based on temperature, clouds, and precipitation forecasts errors. A higher percentage means better forecast accuracy (100% -forecast without error- is unachievable).
