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.

New feature in Bulk Downloading: Now you can get bulk files for the previous seven days.
We have added new functionality to Bulk Downloading. The main idea of this product is to allow you to regularly download batches of current #weather and #forecast data for more than 200,000 locations at once via a #JSON file.
Until now, you could only access regularly updated Current and Forecast bulk files. Each time the weather data is updated, these are replaced by a file with fresh data, removing old #data. This means there is the problem of how to recover the deleted data if your download of the new file has failed.
To help you with this, we have made it possible to download all bulk files with this data for the previous seven days.
If you have not used this product before, please read our detailed documentation (https://openweathermap.org/bulk), which will help you to get started.

Why Weather Data Should Be Open And Nearly Free
Weather data should be open to everyone. Above all other types of data, the weather is the most critical to our daily lives. Since everyone can benefit from it, weather data shouldn't cost a lot of money at all.
Nowadays everyone is constantly checking #weather forecasts on their smartphones. Some of us might wonder how accurate the forecast is, and why it is constantly changing. We at #OpenWeather use our own tools to monitor accuracy and quality #metrics, to make sure we provide better #data to our customers through our #API. In this article, we describe our methods, and present the values of metrics that show how accurate our #forecasts are.
