Visual Crossing Weather offers an ideal solution for accessing comprehensive and precise weather data for any business or personal project. Users gain access to full 15-day, worldwide weather forecasts and ultra long-range forecasting capabilities powered by statistical climate modeling. Beyond common weather measures like rain and wind, the platform provides powerful functionality including solar radiation, degree days, and weather alerts. All data is accessible through a user-friendly web-based data explorer page and an easy-to-use Weather Timeline API. The service boasts a vast archive of over 50 years of global weather history, processing billions of hourly and sub-hourly observations from more than one hundred thousand worldwide observation stations, including satellite and maritime sources. Every report undergoes rigorous analysis for errors, missing information, and anomalies to ensure the highest data quality.

For forecasts, Visual Crossing Weather leverages detailed models from leading services such as NOAA and DWD, ensuring global coverage with hourly detail and daily summaries for the full 15-day period. For longer-term planning, climate-based forecasts provide weather norms and patterns for any day of the year.
