Powered by meteoblue Learning MultiModel (mLM)

The meteoblue Learning MultiModel (mLM) optimises forecasts for your weather stations by training on historical measurements, selecting a customised model combination, and integrating real-time observations for improved local nowcasting.

One of the unique selling points is definitely the quality of the forecast. The accuracy. Other than that, it is the fact that they operate globally. For us, these are the fundamental factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meteoblue Premium Weather API?

The meteoblue Premium Weather API is a complete weather data suite that combines forecast, historical, and visual data under a single product. It provides 100+ weather variables, global forecasts up to 14 days ahead, more than 80 years of historical records, and ready-made weather charts through one interface.

How accurate are the forecasts?

meteoblue verifies its forecasts every month against quality-controlled weather station measurements and publishes the results, benchmarked against leading global models from major weather providers. In these monthly reports, the meteoblue Learning MultiModel (mLM) has a lower temperature error than the best raw global model on every continent. The size of the improvement varies by month and region, and day-1 temperature error is around 1 °C. With 40+ global and regional models, 250,000+ stations and downscaling to local terrain and elevation, a 5-day mLM forecast is about as accurate as the best raw model on day 1.

Which weather variables and data packages are included?

The Premium Weather API includes over 100 variables grouped into packages for general weather, agriculture, solar and wind energy, marine and aviation conditions, and long-range trends. Typical variables are temperature, precipitation, wind speed, cloud cover, solar radiation, soil moisture, and wave height. You combine only the packages you need in each request.

How far ahead do the forecasts reach?

meteoblue forecasts reach up to 14 days ahead, available in 15-minute, hourly, 3-hourly, and daily resolution, so you can match the granularity to your use case. Short-range forecasts use the highest-resolution local model for each location and are corrected with real-time station and radar data. Our seasonal anomaly packages reach up to 6 months in the future.

How far back does the historical weather data go?

The Premium Weather API provides consistent historical records going back to 1940, covering more than 80 years. This supports long-term trend analysis, asset benchmarking, model validation, and risk assessment.
