OpenWeather team announces Weather maps 2.0 (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2) where now you can work not only with current #weather layers but with historical and forecast maps! On top of that, we added a bunch of new weather layers including amazing wind speed and wind direction and many others.

The most remarkable part of the new #maps is its simplicity. Using only one #API call (URL), you can get #forecast map (for 10 days with 3-hour step), #historical map (any date from February 2018), and current weather #map. It is really simple as you change only one parameter in the API call that defines the map's type. With the same API call (URL) you can set up any of 15th weather layers that include air temperature and atmospheric pressure, along with precipitation, soil temperature on different depth, a combined display of speed wind and wind direction, and many other useful maps. For each layer, we have custom palettes, but you can use your palette and include it to the API call.

You can use our URL in all conventional libraries that work with tile layers. With #Leaflet and the #OpenLayers libraries, with our Weather maps 2.0 you can even build interactive maps and embed them into your application. More information about it is here (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2#library).

Weather maps 2.0 is available for Developer, Professional and Enterprise subscribers (see more details in the https://openweathermap.org/price). Weather maps 1.0 is available for any subscribers including Free account.

We are glad to present you a new product from OpenWeather - Relief maps (https://openweathermap.org/api/relief)! This product allows you to get relief maps around the world. Set the position of the sun in parameters and you will receive precise illumination of the earth’s surface and its relief for conditions set.
You can use Relief #maps as a base layer in your maps. Also, you can use Relief maps with our #Weather map layers (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2).
This product is a combination of a layer tint (colored raster) and a hillshade. For the layer tint you can use our custom palette. We also made it possible for you to pass your own color palette in URL (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2#palette). To use this product with other map layers, you may need the "opacity" parameter, which will allow you to manage the transparency of this layer. The full list of parameters here (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2#url).
Examples of setting optional parameters of Relief maps you can find here (https://openweathermap.org/api/weather-map-2#examples).
To get Relief maps just use only one URL format and your personal API key.
You need to insert the generated URL into special plugins. For example, #Leaflet, #OpenLayers. You can also use any other apps that support the display of layers. More information about it you can find here (https://openweathermap.org/api/relief#library).

NEW! One Call API for essential weather data

#OpenWeather is proud to launch a new product, One Call API (https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api). By making a single call to this #API, you can get access to a set of essential #weather parameters for any location on the globe.

One Call API provides the following weather data:

- Current weather
- Hourly #forecast for 48 hours
- Daily forecast for 7 days

Historical weather #data (we are going to add weather archives very soon)

One Call API is available in all subscriptions, including a Free one.

Within the Free subscription, the limit is equal to 1,000 API calls per day; within Startup subscription, 2000 API calls per day are allowed. In our premium plans (such as Developer, Professional and Enterprise), One Call API can be used with the same amount of calls that are allowed for other individual APIs. You can find more information about call limits (and other details about our services) by visiting our Pricing page (https://openweathermap.org/price).

Along with One Call API, a plethora of various products are available under the same conditions (such as Weather #Maps, Weather Alerts as well as all individual weather APIs for current weather, forecast and others). Here is a full list of these: https://openweathermap.org/api.
