Key Enhancements in WeatherKit API
- Richer Forecast Details: The API now includes more detailed current conditions such as temperature, wind speed, UV index, and cloud cover by altitude. It also offers minute-by-minute precipitation, ten days worth of hourly and daily forecasts, and weather alerts.
- Hourly and Daily Forecasts: You can now access more granular hourly and daily forecasts, including high and low humidity and precipitation amounts by the hour.
- Changes Query: This new query provides upcoming changes to temperature and precipitation, including the time at which they will occur.
- Historical Comparisons: The API now allows you to fetch historical weather data back to August 1, 2021, including high and low temperatures, precipitation, and snowfall amounts.
Example Usage
- Fetching Hourly Precipitation Data: You can fetch hourly precipitation data by specifying the location and the granularity of the data you need. For example, you can request up to 240 hours of forecast data.
