Why We Use Open-Meteo for the Forecast
When we built the forecast tool, the data source mattered more than anything else. We wanted something free for users, private, and simple enough to call straight from the browser. Open-Meteo ticked every box.
Free, open and key-less
Open-Meteo blends data from national weather services and global forecast models, and offers free access for non-commercial use with no API key. That means the tool works the instant the page loads — there is no sign-up, no dashboard, and no secret to leak. It is also CORS-friendly, so the browser can call it directly without us proxying every request through a server.
What we ask for, and nothing more
Each request sends only the coordinates of the place you chose and asks for the fields the UI shows: current conditions and a seven-day daily summary. We map the returned WMO weather codes to friendly labels and icons in the browser. No account, no history, no profile — just a forecast for a point on the map.
Try the Open-Meteo-powered forecast for any city.
