For your information, Openweathermap website has a new section dedicated to users who work within the #agricultural sector https://openweathermap.org/for_agriculture. It can be accessed from the API list page, and at any given moment, detailed #API documentation is available on accumulated #weather data (such as #temperature and #precipitation).
We are ready to answer your questions and will be glad to hear any proposals you might have.
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.

News! Upgrade of API Multilingual feature. US cities search by states.

The #OpenWeather team has made two important updates this month in the Current weather #data product. Hope, you’ll enjoy more user-friendly experience.

Upgrade of API Multilingual feature

It’s been a while since our weather APIs started supporting a multilingual #weather description in the field ‘description’ (for example, ‘description’: ‘clear sky’). The language of #API response can be specified in the ‘lang’ parameter by the language code. The list of language codes is available here https://openweathermap.org/current#multi. The default language of API response is English when lang parameter is not set.

Now, API response contains the location name in addition to weather description in the language which was specified in the ‘lang’ parameter.

Please note, multilanguage coverage is not supported for some locations. Therefore location nameshould be rendered in the user's selected language if available, or in English by default if not.

Also, an API response should be returned in the same language as the language of requested location name if the location is in our predefined list of more than 200k cities.

API calls using Cities within a rectangle zone, Cities in cycle and Call for several city IDs features support only one multilanguage field – field ‘description’.

Example of API call:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily…{YOUR API KEY}

where location can be set by:

• {city name}

• {city name}, {country code}

• {city name}, {state}, {country code}

US cities search by states

Previously, the city search was performed in weather APIs by country code and/or city name.

But the fact that some cities may share the same name in the same country could make the search quite confusing.

Following enhancement requests from our US users, the search was updated to recognise cities with the same name in different states. Just make an API call with a state code (in {state} field) in addition to a city name to get the right city back.

Please note, such behaviour is only applied to USA locations.

Example of API call:

http://history.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/history/city?q={city name},{state},{country code}&type=hour&start={start}&end={end}&appid={YOUR API KEY}

The {state} parameter should follow the city name and preceed the country code.

Stay tuned for further updates and announcements!

We would like to thank you for being our customers. Your feedback is very important as we are constantly looking for ways to improve our products.

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome at info@openweathermap.org
We are often asked how to import weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API directly into Google Sheets. To help you with this, we would like to refer you to the detailed guide “Import OpenWeatherMap #Data to Google Sheets”, written by Mixed Analytics (https://mixedanalytics.com/knowledge-base/access-open-weather-api-data-in-google-sheets/).
This gives step-by-step instructions for the whole process: how to get an #OpenWeatherMap #API key, how to set up an API request for sending detailed weather data to #Google Sheets, how to start importing weather data using the free API Connector add-on, and so on.
By doing this, you can import current and #forecast #weather data into the spreadsheet. We provide the Current Weather API, along with several types of forecasts with different depths and measurement steps:
Hourly Forecast API
Daily Forecast API
3-hour Forecast API.
You can find the full list of products (https://openweathermap.org/api) and pricing (https://openweathermap.org/price) on our website.
