TRAIN AI MODELS WITH HISTORICAL WEATHER DATA

Artificial intelligence (AI) and weather data

The analysis of historical weather data makes it possible to identify correlations between the weather and various key performance indicators of a company that are related to turnover. This can improve planning, for example, and thus increase the company’s success. More and more companies are automating various processes that are important to them with the help of AI-based systems. Historical weather data is sometimes essential here. Past data can be used to forecast future demand, capacity utilization, performance and profitability.

This gives companies the opportunity to better plan staffing requirements, purchasing, delivery times, delays, safety measures and investments. MetGIS provides the most accurate historical weather data for these purposes. A large number of business sectors such as the insurance industry, tourism, agriculture, energy producers, transportation and mobility as well as industrial companies are dependent on such data. MetGIS offers highly professional data in several forms. Whether as a one-off query or via a subscription using an API interface. Thanks to the flexible design, we will also find the right solution for you to solve your problems from the past with our weather data.

MetGIS Hist API – FAQ

Temperature, precipitation, fresh snow, wind direction and strength, relative humidity, cloud cover, sunshine duration and global radiation. Further parameters are available on request.

The cost of the weather data depends, among other things, on the temporal resolution of the data and the number of weather parameters and data years required.
For details on the costs, please refer to our
price overview.

Many free APIs interpolate using very coarse grids (as an example 100km resolution).
With MetGIS, the data is processed with special d
ownscaling methods This means that historical weather with a resolution of 1 km is possible.
The data is therefore much more detailed and provides a solid basis.

MetGIS currently offers weather data for up to 10 years in the past. Due to climate change, the use of older weather data makes little sense for many applications (AI training, mean and extreme value formation). However, we can supply older data if required. You can find a detailed overview on the MetGIS Hist API page.

The MetGIS team can be reached on weekdays from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. on +43 1 890 90 32.
Calls outside these hours, Video call conferences or personal meetings at our office in Vienna or at your premises are also no problem, provided you let us know in time.

MetGIS has its own, repeatedly verified weather algorithms which combine precise terrain data with millions of measurements from ground-based weather stations, radar, satellites, weather balloons, weather buoys and aircraft.
This enables ultra-precise simulations.

An API call is a data retrieval from our API. This takes place via an https request. The MetGIS Server returns a JSON file. For easy data handling our JSON files contain all requested weather data for one or more locations. Individual queries for different time periods or parameters are not necessary. 

A customer account is created for you when you make your first purchase in the webshop.
Your customer account simplifies subsequent purchases, helps you to manage your orders, allows you to reset your password and view retrieval statistics.

With ourAPI Monitoring Tool (access with your customer login), you can see your packages and statistics at a glance for regular query packages.
You will also receive alerts by e-mail before you have used up your ordered API calls.
