Current Weather

The Current Weather section delivers an up‑to‑the‑minute snapshot of atmospheric conditions at any specified location. Observational data are pulled from a network of ground stations, satellite-derived estimates and high‑resolution numerical models, then bias‑corrected and spatially interpolated to provide a coherent, real‑time view. Updates occur every 10–15 minutes (depending on data availability), ensuring you always have the freshest information at hand.

Each parameter is returned as a single “now” value reflecting the latest measurement or short‑term average:

• Temperature, humidity and pressure are instantaneous readings, corrected for known sensor biases.
• Wind speed and direction represent an average over the prior 10 minutes to smooth out gusts while preserving meaningful trends.
• Precipitation is reported as the accumulated total over the last hour.

Request Parameters

• slug | lat and lon | ip: Location parameters.
• unit: Units system for response values. Supported values: metric (default), imperial.
• X-token or key: Your API token passed in the request header or query string.

Search Methods

Use one location method per request:

• slug
• lat + lon
• ip

Authentication is required for all methods: use X-token header or key query parameter.

Request Format
