API Guide

Current Weather API

This API returns current conditions from sub-hourly reporting stations and atmospheric analyses. Each request returns the nearest and most recent data point.

This API returns current conditions from our network of sub-hourly reporting weather stations, as well as relevant atmospheric meso-analyses (For example, the RTMA). Every API request will return the nearest, and most recent observation.

Note: This API endpoint is designed specifically for retrieving current weather conditions only. It is not suitable for archiving data. If you attempt to archive data from this API, it may be incomplete, lack our data enrichment process, and be subject to potential inconsistencies. The data is only quality controlled with basic checks. Therefore, we do not provide any support or warranty for data archived locally using this endpoint. For the highest quality historical weather observations, please use our dedicated Historical Weather API.

Frequently Asked Questions

How frequently does current weather data update?

Current data updates as fast as it is reported, so timing depends on local coverage and source availability. In most areas updates are typically every 15 to 30 minutes, with radar and satellite refreshes often arriving every 10 to 15 minutes.

Read help article

When is data valid, and how are accumulated values computed?

Unless a field is documented otherwise, values are valid at the timestamp shown in the response. Accumulated fields such as precipitation and snowfall represent the aggregate for the interval from that timestamp, to the next timestamp. The same applies to averages, max/mins, etc.

What does the `solar_rad` field represent?

The solar radiation field is an estimated surface solar flux value that accounts for cloud cover, surface albedo, and atmospheric effects. Alternatively, GHI/DNI/DHI values are clear-sky values which do not account for these.

Read help article

Why is querying by station ID not recommended?

Some stations can move, stop reporting, or become unreliable while keeping the same identifier. For most integrations, we recommend more stable lookup methods such as lat/lon, postal code, or city ID.

Read help article

Is the Weatherbit API a geocoding or reverse geocoding service?

No. Geographic fields like city and state are returned for convenience, but the weather data represents the requested point and the place-name fields should not replace a dedicated geocoding service (ie. Google Maps, OpenStreetMap).

Read help article

Where can I find city, postal codes, station IDs, and related lookup data?

We recommend lat/lon for the most accurate lookup, but alternate location methods are supported. The metadata resources are the place to find city codes, postal codes, and station IDs when you need them.

Read help article

Where can I find weather condition icons and codes?

Condition codes are documented on the API codes page, and icon assets can be downloaded from the metadata resources. We also recommend hosting those icons locally rather than depending on the site asset path.

Frequently Asked Questions

How frequently does current weather data update?

When is data valid, and how are accumulated values computed?

What does the `solar_rad` field represent?

Why is querying by station ID not recommended?

Is the Weatherbit API a geocoding or reverse geocoding service?

Where can I find city, postal codes, station IDs, and related lookup data?

Where can I find weather condition icons and codes?
