Hail data

Xweather provides the industry's only hail forecast API, validated historical hail data, and advanced mapping layers—delivering geospatial intelligence through APIs and MapsGL to help you predict, visualize, and respond to hail risk with precision.

Hail API endpoints

Hail data is available through our Weather API, and as mapping layers in our Raster Mapping API, and our vector weather mapping library, MapsGL.

/hail/threats

The hail threats endpoint provides access to Xweather's hail threat nowcast data, which provides information on current and forecast hail threats in ten-minute intervals over the next 90 minutes.

/hail/archive

Query historical hail data dating back to January 2024 for the US and February 2024 for Canada, Japan, Europe, and Australia to gain insight into trends like hail size, frequency, severity, duration, and intensity. Valuable for research, insurance, and meteorology.
