Getting Forecast Data

[zyberzebra]

Will there be a way to access the forecast data via the python library or the general api?

Or will you just make the historical data available.

thx in advance

Actually, you can already access forecast data using Meteostat. Predictions are usually available for up to 10 days. Example: https://meteostat.net/en/station/71624?t=2021-04-29/2021-05-05

When using the JSON API, you'll need to opt-in for model data. Through Meteostat Python you should automatically be able to access forecast data when using the Hourly data interface.

Hi! were you able to find any solution to this? Actually I am facing a similar issue too.

Can you share your script?

@clampr - love meteostat. Quick question... can't discern in the docs what the actual weather forecast source is - so for the CONUS - it's unclear to me since NOAA provides so many forecast options (i.e. GFS, NAM, NBM etc.)

Can someone please clarify? Thx.

We use a mix of MOSMIX and Met.no.

@clampr Thank you for this wonderful API. Quick clarification? Is the hourly weather actuals values or historic forecasts values you captured and archived?
