Call hourly forecast data

How to make an API call

You can search weather forecast for 4 days with data every hour by geographic coordinates.

All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.

API call

https://pro.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/hourly?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&appid={API key}
Parameters
lat required Latitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API
lon required Longitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API
appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
mode optional Data format. Possible values are json and xml. If the mode parameter is empty the format is JSON by default. Learn more
cnt optional A number of timestamps in response. Learn more
lang optional Language code. Learn more

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that built-in geocoder has been deprecated. Although it is still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

API response

If you do not see some of the parameters in your API response it means that these weather phenomena are just not happened for the time of measurement for the city or location chosen. Only really measured or calculated data is displayed in API response.

Min/max temperature in our weather API

Please do not confuse min/max parameters in our weather APIs.

  • In Hourly forecast API, Current weather API and 5 day / 3 hour forecast API - temp_min and temp_max are optional parameters mean min / max temperature in the city at the current moment just for your reference. For large cities and megalopolises geographically expanded it might be applicable. In most cases both temp_min and temp_max parameters have the same volume as 'temp'. Please use temp_min and temp_max parameters in current weather API optionally.
  • In 16 Day forecast - min and max mean maximum and minimum temperature in the day.
Example of current weather API response 
                     
"main":{
   "temp":306.15, //current temperature
   "pressure":1013,
   "humidity":44,
   "temp_min":306.15, //min current temperature in the city
   "temp_max":306.15 //max current temperature in the city
   },

Other features

Geocoding API

Requesting API calls by geographical coordinates is the most accurate way to specify any location. If you need to convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around automatically, please use our Geocoding API.

Built-in geocoding

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that API requests by city name, zip-codes and city id have been deprecated. Although they are still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

Built-in API request by city name

You can search weather forecast for 4 days (96 hours) with data every hour by city name. All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.
