Hourly weather for any place, given a name or a coordinate pair. Up to 16 days ahead and 92 days back, in one flat table.
The timestamp problem, which is the reason this exists
Open-Meteo returns the same timestamp string whether it answered in GMT or in Tokyo. Only a
separate utc_offset_seconds field says which moment it is.
Put two locations in one table and the timestamps look comparable and are not. Sort by them and you get nonsense. Join two locations on time and you join the wrong hours together.
Every row here carries both. localTime is the reading in the location's own clock, which
is what you want for a chart of one place. utcTime is the real instant, which is what you
need the moment there is more than one location in the file.
Place names
Type London, or 51.5,-0.13 if you already know the point.
A bare name that matches several places resolves to the most populated one, and the run
summary lists the rest under otherPlacesWithThisName. Springfield is five real towns in
the United States alone. Pass coordinates when you need a specific one.
A name that matches nothing is reported as not found. It is never quietly resolved to somewhere nearby.
Null is not zero
A null reading means the model has no value for that hour. It is left null rather than filled with a zero, which matters most for precipitation, where zero is a real and very common answer and the two are easy to confuse.
Units are recorded on every row, because they depend on which variables you asked for.
Output
One row per location per hour. Location, coordinates, elevation, timezone, both timestamps, then one column per variable you selected.
Access
Free, no key, no login. Ten rapid requests with no pacing all returned 200, so it does not throttle at the rate this Actor works at.
