IT'S MORE THAN WEATHER—IT'S MyWeather.
Data Feed Overview
- MyWeather's data product consists of current conditions and forecast XML for selected USA and international locations.
- The current conditions data is provided by the National Weather Service.
- The forecast data is produced by MyWeather's patented MicroCast forecasting model (for USA locations).
- The MicroCast data contains full day summaries, day segments (morning, afternoon, evening, overnight), and hour-by-hour forecasts.
- All data is pulled from MyWeather via HTTP and saved to the client's server(s).
Conditions of Use
