From prompt to practice in 2 minutes
Get real-time and historical lightning data, threat zones, and analytics—backed by the world’s most trusted lightning detection network. Provides high-resolution global lightning strike data—including type, location, and intensity. Up to 1,000 events from the past 5 minutes within a 100 km radius.
Access real-time hail forecasts and validated historical data to support risk assessment and asset protection. Integrate hail data into web apps and dashboards.
Forecast how current and short-term weather conditions affect specific activities across land and sea to assess operational risks in real time. Provides near real-time forecasts and risk evaluations with full global reach.
Endpoints that deliver real-time and historical insights on extreme weather. Global government-issued alerts, impact-based intelligence, and deep historical access dating back decades for validation and planning.
Transform raw weather data into real-time, natural language summaries—for users to understand the forecast without needing a meteorologist. Customizable, AI-generated summaries in 50+ languages for alerts, conditions, and activity-specific impacts.
High-resolution forecasts powered by advanced modeling and sensor networks delivering real-time and forecasted insights on road surface states (water, snow, and ice thickness).
Actionable endpoints, from “What’s happening?” to “What should I do?”

Weather API data can be consumed via server push rather than polling. With this push strategy, we can send data to your application with minimal delay and latency.
Automated alerts, notifications, and warnings
Severe weather, wildfires, air quality, earthquakes, and more
Renewable energy data
Set up timely notifications of the weather events that you care about most. Eliminate the need for continuous polling and the worry of missing critical alerts.
