Frequently asked questions

Where does WeatherMetro's data come from?

Directly from the world's national weather agencies - ECMWF, NOAA, DWD, Météo-France and a dozen more - ingested into our own pipeline and blended. No resellers in between, and our accuracy page shows how every model has actually performed.

What's the difference between the forecast and the nowcast?

The forecast covers the next hours-to-16-days from physics models. The nowcast covers the next two hours at minute resolution, driven by live radar - that's how we can say "rain starting in 12 minutes."

Can I use the free plan in production?

Yes. 100,000 calls a month, commercial use allowed, with a visible “Weather data by WeatherMetro” credit. Paid plans drop the credit and raise the ceiling.

Do you support historical weather?

Back to 1940, worldwide, on Business plans and above - hourly and daily, from the ERA5 reanalysis maintained by Copernicus.

Why does this page change color?

Because the sky does. WeatherMetro follows your local time of day - dawn, day, dusk and night - so checking the weather feels like looking out the window.

From "will it rain?" to a full weather product.
