We're building the best Weather API, just for you! (Updates!)
We have been working hard to build the best Weather API! We have made many updates that affirm our spot as the best weather API provider on the web!
HTTPS - Free Weather API
Our free Weather API tier now allows HTTPS access! Every user currently enrolled, or any new user can access our weather data via standard HTTP or HTTPS. We take security seriously, and have taken this step to ensure that every user has access to the ability to encrypt their weather API requests. No longer shall our free Weather API users need to deal with

MADIS Weather Data
Our weather data ingestion now includes data from the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System - MADIS. This, in addition to METAR feeds puts our total weather station count to over +40,000 weather stations!
New fields: UV Index, and Probability of Precipitation
Our weather API now includes UV Index. The UV Index scale used in the United States conforms with international guidelines for UVI reporting established by the World Health Organization. It is a metric that depicts the amount of shortwave solar radiation at a particular place, and time. It is a scale 1 to +11. 11 is the highest of the scale, and means that their is an extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
In addition to UV index, our weather API (forecasts only) now includes our best guess as to what the probability is that precipitation will occur.
