A global service

A global service
Global coverage of minutely forecast

Internationalization

  • the datetime calculation will impact the avg/max/min value calculation of weather variables, our i18n features fully support this.
  • the unit of measurement is fully support i18n requirement, we support Metric system, Imperial and US customary units and International System of Units
  • the user-friendly nature language description of current weather conditions is support i18n, but we only provide Chinese, English and Japanese support.


Data coverage of general weather forecast

  • Since the just begining of our weather API offering, we provide global hourly and daily weather forecast at any point on earth with arbitrary latitude and longitude.

Data coverage of minute-by-minute nowcasting service

  • We are among the few providers can give global-wide nowcasting service, we can provide service in below areas
Continent Country/region
Europe Italy, Lithuania, Malta, France, Slovakia, Norway, Belarus, Iceland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Denmark, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Croatia, Russia, Romania, Portugal, Estonia, Serbia, United Kingdom, Austria, Greece, Hungary
Oceania Fiji, Guam, Australia, Marshall Islands, New Caledonia, Australia
Asia Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Diaoyu Islands, Spratly Islands, Turkey, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iran, Singapore, Oman, Philippines, Japan, India, Cambodia, Cyprus, Malaysia, Vietnam, Kuwait, Thailand, South Korea, North Korea
North America Canada, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Panama, Martinique, Cuba, United States, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Kura, Guadeloupe, Nicaragua
South America Brazil, French Guiana, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, Argentina

The quality of our nowcasting services is related with the quality of service of the radar data providers, it may vary from country to country; but as a service provider since 2014, we are a provened player in this area.

Data coverage of air quality forecast

Full scope of China and US.

The nowcasting service

We provide two kind of nowcasting service:

  • pointwise API calls specified by latitude and longitude
  • forecasted weather radar images

The AI technology behind

Since the founding at 2014, we always dedicated in improving the algorithms for years, there are many works behind the services.

the 1st generation denoise algorithm
the 3rd generation of precipitation forecast algorithm
the comparison of 1st and 2nd generation air quality forecast

The reliable and stable backend

  • Scalability: the public service pool can offer 300M ~ 800M API calls per day and can scale up on demanding
  • Availability: the availability of the public service pool for the past year is at 99.94%
the capacity and availability monitoring platform
the technical architecture behind

We can offer private service pool with better availability for large-demanding clients

The team behind

the team members after the annual party
the office and working environment
