Access real-time and historical weather intelligence through a fast, reliable API backed by a proprietary global sensor network with decades of operational use.
The alerts endpoint provides access to all currently active US, Canadian, and European alerts as issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), Environment Canada (EC), MeteoAlarm, the UK Met Office, the Japanese Meteorological Agency, and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
The convective/outlook endpoint provides convective outlook information based on SPC Convective Outlooks. Convective outlooks provide information on potential severe weather, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, damaging high winds, and hail.
The storm cells dataset provides observed and forecast data for all storm cells across the United States. This is a NEXRAD-derived product that attempts to identify and track storm cell movement, along with reporting cell intensity and certain severe weather signatures within the cell, like rotation and hail.
The lightning endpoints deliver the precise location and characteristics of every lightning strike globally. Xweather is the primary source of lightning data for the U.S. Armed Forces, National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration, and many international commercial organizations.
The maritime API endpoint delivers essential global marine weather data, including wave and swell heights, directions and periods, tidal and surge information, ocean currents, sea surface temperature, and significant wave height. It is suitable for maritime applications, such as oceanic navigation, offshore operations, coastal monitoring, and recreational activities.
The tropical cyclones endpoint provides access to information on the active tropical cyclones, such as invests, tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons, across the globe. It includes information on an individual storm's name, position, historical track, and forecasts.
