Description

CustomWeather forecasts for 85,000+ global locations. Hourly and extended long-range forecasts available in any one of 95 languages.
The backbone of CustomWeather's forecasting arm is our proven, high-resolution model, the CW100. The CW100 Model is based on physics, not statistics or airport observations. As a result, it can achieve significantly better accuracy than statistical models, especially for non-airport locations. While other forecast models are designed to forecast the entire atmosphere, the CW100 greatly reduces computational requirements by focusing entirely on conditions near the ground. This reduction of computations allows it to resolve additional physical processes near the ground that are not resolved by other models. It also allows the CW100 to operate at a much higher resolution, typically 100x finer than standard models and other gridded forecasts. Detailed Forecasts: Features a detailed 48-hour outlook broken into four segments per day: morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight. Each segment provides condition descriptions, high/low temperatures, wind speed and direction, humidity, comfort level, UV index, expected and probability of precipitation, 6-hr forecasted precip amounts, and miles of visibility. Available for over 85,000 forecast points globally. The information is updated four times per day. Extended Forecasts Days 1-15: Features condition descriptions, high/low temperatures, wind speed and direction, humidity, comfort level, UV index, expected and probability of precipitation, and miles of visibility. Available for over 85,000 forecast points globally. The information is updated four times per day. Hour-by-Hour Forecasts: Features Hour-by-Hour forecasts. The product is available as 12 hour, 48 hour and 168 hour blocks. Each hourly forecast includes weather descriptions, wind conditions, temperature, dew point, humidity, visibility, rainfall totals, snowfall totals, and precipitation probability. Available for over 85,000 forecast points globally. Updated four times per day. Historical Longer Term Forecasts: Includes historical hourly and/or daily forecast data from 2009 until present date.  Data will include condition descriptions, high/low temperatures, wind speed and direction, dew point, humidity, comfort level, UV index, probability of precipitation, rainfall and snowfall amounts. Available for over 85,000 forecast points globally. The information is updated four times per day. Below are available time periods per each type of forecast from the GFS model and from CustomWeather's proprietary CW100 model: GFS: 7-day hourly forecasts from August 2nd 2009; 48-hour to 5-day detailed forecasts from August 4th 2009; 15-day forecasts from October 9th 2008. CW100: 7-day hourly forecasts from November 27, 2012; 48-hour detailed forecasts from November 12, 2011; 7-day forecasts from December 6, 2010, 15-day forecasts from August 6, 2012. CW100 is CustomWeather's proprietary model. MOS: (Model Output Statistics) for any global location using archive of model and observation data. 0.25 degree resolution. 15-day hourly forecasts from January 1, 2017; 15-day forecasts from April 19, 2017.
