German Weather Forecast (DWD MOSMIX) – Hourly & Daily

Get the official 10-day weather forecast of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), Germany's national weather service, for any German town – as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Hourly or as a daily summary.

The data is MOSMIX, the DWD's statistically optimised point forecast. It combines the ICON and ECMWF weather models with decades of station observations, and it is the forecast behind many German weather apps. It covers ~5,600 stations: the whole of Germany, plus larger cities and airports across Europe and the world.

• 🌡️ Temperature, dew point, humidity
• 🌧️ Precipitation (mm per hour) and chance of rain, snow, freezing rain
• 💨 Wind speed, direction and gusts
• ☁️ Cloud cover, sunshine minutes, visibility, air pressure
• ☀️ Solar radiation (W/m², kWh/m² per day) – useful for PV yield estimates
• ⛈️ Thunderstorm and fog probability, plus a plain-language weather description (EN or DE)

Search by town name ("Köln", "Munich", "Sylt"), station ID, airport code or coordinates (nearest station). No API key, no scraping, no login.

What can I use it for?

• ☀️ Solar & energy – hourly radiation, sunshine and cloud forecasts for PV and heat-pump planning, energy trading inputs.
• 🏗️ Construction, agriculture & logistics – plan concrete pours, spraying, harvests or deliveries around rain, frost and wind gusts.
• 🎪 Events, tourism & retail – staff and stock for the weather: rain chance and max temperature by day.
• 📱 Apps, dashboards & smart home – a reliable German forecast feed without signing up for a weather API.
• 🤖 AI agents – call it as a tool via the Apify MCP server: "Will it rain in Hamburg on Saturday?"

The DWD updates MOSMIX_L every 6 hours (issued about 03, 09, 15 and 21 UTC). Schedule the tool once or a few times a day for a fresh feed.

Fields

Hourly field	Meaning
time / localDate, localTime	End of the forecast hour in UTC / in your time zone
temperatureC, dewPointC, relativeHumidityPct	2 m temperature, dew point, humidity
precipitationMm, precipitationProbabilityPct	Precipitation in the past hour; chance of more than 0.1 mm
snowWaterEquivalentMm	Snow / sleet part of the precipitation (water equivalent)
weatherCode, weather	Significant weather (WMO code) and description
cloudCoverPct, sunshineMin, solarRadiationWm2	Total cloud cover, sunshine in the past hour, mean global radiation
windSpeedKmh, windGustKmh, windDirectionDeg	10 m wind, maximum gust in the past hour, direction
pressureHpa, visibilityKm	Sea-level pressure, visibility

Daily rows have min/mean/max temperature, precipitation total, rainy hours, max rain chance, main (most significant) weather, sunshine hours, solar energy, mean wind, max gust, max thunderstorm chance, and completeDay (false for the rest of today).

Notes

• Town search uses the DWD station names (e.g. Hamburg → Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel, München → München-Stadt). English names of big cities work too. If a small town has no station, use coordinates – the nearest station is usually a few km away; distanceKm tells you how far.
• MOSMIX is a forecast for the station location. Mountain stations (e.g. Zugspitze, Brocken, Feldberg) have their own forecast.
• Each station is one small download (~20 kB) from the DWD; there is a limit of 100 stations per run.

Pricing

You pay only per row returned – no monthly fee. A 7-day daily forecast for one town is 7 rows; 48 hours hourly is 48 rows.
