NWS Weather Station Observations — Resolution-Grade Daily Highs

Official NWS/NOAA station observations — the exact same station data Weather Underground displays — with daily highs/lows computed on local calendar dates, not UTC. If you settle anything against "the high temperature in NYC today" (prediction markets, weather derivatives, parametric triggers), UTC-bucketed daily data is wrong twice a day. This actor does the timezone math correctly.

Why this one

  • Same source as Weather Underground — WU displays NWS METAR station data; this fetches it from the authoritative api.weather.gov feed directly
  • Local-date daily highs — observations are bucketed midnight-to-midnight in the station's own timezone (DST-aware)
  • City aliasesnyc → KLGA, los angeles → KLAX, seattle → KSEA... the exact stations weather markets typically specify
  • Raw observations available — full temperature/wind/pressure/humidity series when you need more than highs

Output example

{
"type": "daily_summary",
"station": "KLAX",
"date": "2026-06-11",
"maxTempF": 78.8,
"minTempF": 62.1,
"maxTempC": 26.0,
"minTempC": 16.7,
"observations": 28,
"timezoneOffsetHours": -7
}

Use cases

  • Prediction market resolution — settle weather markets against the same station WU shows
  • Energy & demand modeling — accurate daily extremes for load forecasting
  • Parametric insurance / weather derivatives — settlement-grade station data
  • Climate datasets — clean daily series for any US station

Input

"stations": ["KLAX", "nyc", "KORD"],
"startDate": "2026-06-01",
"endDate": "2026-06-11",

FAQ

International stations? This actor covers US NWS stations. International METAR support is on the roadmap.

How fresh is today's high? Observations update roughly hourly; today's max is a running max until the local day ends.
