NWS Weather Station Observations: Resolution-Grade Daily Highs
Official NWS/NOAA station observations (the same data Weather Underground displays): raw observations plus daily high/low summaries computed on local calendar dates. KLAX, KLGA, KSEA and any US station ID, or city names. Built for settlement-grade accuracy.
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 aliases —
nyc→ 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

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.
