Access real-time and historical weather intelligence through a fast, reliable API backed by a proprietary global sensor network with decades of operational use.
)
One interface for global weather intelligence. The weather API includes exclusive datasets like lightning strike data from our own lightning detection network and the industry's only hail forecast.
Using machine learning, the API turns complex weather models into precise, actionable insights. Built for the reliability and scale that mission-critical applications demand.
The most unique datasets in the market, backed by high-resolution, real-time data from a globally distributed proprietary infrastructure.
Built for developers
Agent-ready MCP and toolkits
Built for trust
Choice for safety, operations, and long-term planning
Built for speed
From prompt to practice in 2 minutes
Get real-time and historical lightning data, threat zones, and analytics—backed by the world’s most trusted lightning detection network. Provides high-resolution global lightning strike data—including type, location, and intensity. Up to 1,000 events from the past 5 minutes within a 100 km radius.
Access real-time hail forecasts and validated historical data to support risk assessment and asset protection. Integrate hail data into web apps and dashboards.
Forecast how current and short-term weather conditions affect specific activities across land and sea to assess operational risks in real time. Provides near real-time forecasts and risk evaluations with full global reach.
Endpoints that deliver real-time and historical insights on extreme weather. Global government-issued alerts, impact-based intelligence, and deep historical access dating back decades for validation and planning.
Get information on active tropical cyclones, including invests, tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons worldwide. Updates every 6 hours; NHC storms up to 1-3 hours near landfall.
High-resolution forecasts powered by advanced modeling and sensor networks delivering real-time and forecasted insights on road surface states (water, snow, and ice thickness).
Includes standard conditions, forecasts, alerts, severe weather, air quality, fire, maritime, plus exclusive datasets for hail, road weather, and lightning, only available through Xweather.

Example request
Response
Request data in the format that fits your stack. Control exactly which fields come back and in what order. Output formats include JSON, GeoJSON, CSV, and TSV.
Our API wizards make it easy to access advanced weather data and imagery—no technical background required. Exploring options or deploy a solution in just a few clicks.
Connect the Xweather MCP server to integrate weather intelligence into AI agents and LLM workflows.
Weather API data can be consumed via server push rather than polling. With this push strategy, we can send data to your application with minimal delay and latency.
