English version.

api.met.no/weatherapi er et grensesnitt mot et utvalg av data fra Meteorologisk institutt. Dataene er fritt tilgjengelige for bruk under disse betingelsene. Se også egne vilkår for bruk av tjenesten. Det finnes mange tredjepartsbiblioteker for tjenesten i forskjellige programmeringsspråk.

Alle jevnlige brukere av API anbefales på det sterkeste å abonnere på vår epostliste for API-brukere siden dette er den eneste kanalen vi vil kommunisere planlagte endringer på utenom websidene (se arkivet for tidligere meldinger).

For driftsstatus and vedlikeholdsmeldinger, se status.met.no (vennligst lag bokmerke i tilfelle siten er utilgjengelig).

For informasjon over hvilke data som er tilgjengelig, samt hvordan disse kan brukes, se dokumentasjonen (engelsk tekst).

Data som eies av andre enn Meteorologisk institutt er ikke tilgjengelig for allmenn bruk. Dette står spesifisert i dokumentasjonen for hvert enkelt produkt. Denne problemstillingen gjelder spesielt radarbildet over Norden og satellittbildene. Les dokumentasjonen for hvert enkelt produkt før bruk.

Nyheter

Forestfireindex EOL July 1st 2021-06-01

Some product changes, mainly of interest to Norwegian users:

Forestfireindex

This product will be terminated on July 1st, as it has been replaced by MetAlerts on the new Yr website. We are working on a new map-based service, which is currently in beta and available on skogbrannfare.met.no.

The old retro.yr.no site will link to this after July 1st. We are also working on making the raw data files avaiable on thredds.met.no as NetCDF files, more info on this later.

Sigcharts

On June 1st we will start using a new tool for making SIG-WX charts. The images will look somewhat different and have other dimensions, but will be available on the same URL as before. We are planning to add a Nordic map later, in which case we might be bumping the version number. More info on this later.

Lightning warnings

On June 15th, we will add a "lightning" type to MetAlerts. This will only be of yellow severity, and signify events with a large amount of lightning strikes.

Routeforecast

On June 1st, the route Korpfjell-ENKR will be removed, and the Stangnestind-ENKR route added.

Probabilityforecast and old Oceanforecast EOL July 1st 2021-05-10

As mentioned earlier, Oceanforecast 2.0 is now in production and version 0.9 has been deprecated, to be removed on 2021-07-01. Despite what we said earlier there will be no change in the XML format for 0.9, as we have extended the EOL of the backend model to the same date. (The experimental XML version in 2.0 is also going away, although later in the summer).

The Probabilityforecast product has also been deprecated and will be removed on 2021-07-01. As a replacement we have added the following new variables to complete.json in Locationforecast/2.0:

air_temperature_percentile_10
air_temperature_percentile_90
wind_speed_percentile_10
wind_speed_percentile_90

We have also improved the handling of requests outside coverage for Nowcast and Oceanforecast (2.0). Any requests outside the model area (as defined by the shapefile which can be downloaded from the /coverage endpoint) will get a 422 error response. Any requests within the model area but which we have no data for (either due to lack of radar range or ocean forecasts for dry land) will get a GeoJSON response with an appropriate error or warning message.

Note that we have implemented a "snap" functionality in Oceanforecast so land points near the coast will return the nearest point at sea (this means the coordinates in the URL and JSON may be different). The new model areas can be seen on the maps here:

Finally, as you may know we have not supported unencrypted HTTP for several years, and all requests to port 80 have been redirected to the corresponding HTTPS URL. Yet, after several years we still get a lot of traffic from old systems which has not been updated to use HTTPS, which in some cases could be considered a privacy liability. As a consequence we have decided to drop this feature; now all requests to po 80 will be redirected to the front page of the API.

Endringslogg

Locationforecast: Probabilities added: 2021-05-10

As a replacement for the deprecated Probabilityforecast product (to be removed on 2021-07-01), we have added some new variables to the `complete.json` forecast:

    air_temperature_percentile_10
    air_temperature_percentile_90
    wind_speed_percentile_10
    wind_speed_percentile_90

Oceanforecast: Version 2.0 in production, 2021-05-10

Added coverage, improved error handling. Version 0.9 will expire on 2021-07-01.

Locationforecast: Version 0.9 EOL: 2021-03-01

After having been deprecated for 9 months, version 0.9 will finally be removed on March 1st, 2021.

Oceanforecast: Version 2.0 in beta, 2021-02-19

New, totally rewritten version using standard JSON format. Older MOX XML is no longer supported. Now snaps automatically to nearest coastal point for coordinates on land.

Geosatellite: Added video files for Europe, 2021-02-18

Europe area animations in MP4 and WebM formats have been added. URL format has been made more flexible, using area and format as endpoint

Locationforecast: XML updated with new symbol codes: 2020-12-14

Since Weathericon/1.1 is deprecated, we have added an attribute code to the symbol element, corresponding to the filename in Weathericon/2.0.
