https://yr.no https://yr.no provides an API for high quality open weather data, globally, supplied by the Norwegian meteorological service. Information is available in English too, but it is perhaps not well-known in the anglosophere.
- luplex 6y agoIt's what I use for mountaineering in the alps. It has all the mountains as searchable POIs, so it's much better than other consumer apps.
- coopierez 6y agoThe app also has an extremely enjoyable visualisation of the weather predictions, which is a nice bonus!
- shyber 6y agothis one is also great for sailing
- gspr 6y agoI guess I should add some information, since it's not trivial to find from the main page. The API documentation [1] is in English. Most (all?) the data is dual-licensed under CC-BY-4.0 and the Norwegian open government data license [2]. Please do take care not to abuse a tax-payer funded service, and do obey the the terms of service [3] (these are restrictions on querying the API, not on the use of the data themselves, which seems reasonable).
