Weather API Information

This tool uses professional weather data APIs to provide accurate and reliable information. The data is updated in real-time and sourced from meteorological stations, satellites, and weather models worldwide. Weather forecasts use advanced prediction algorithms that analyze atmospheric patterns, historical data, and current conditions to provide accurate multi-day predictions.

Temperature Units Guide

• Celsius (°C): Metric system, used worldwide. Water freezes at 0°C, boils at 100°C
• Fahrenheit (°F): Imperial system, common in the USA. Water freezes at 32°F, boils at 212°F
• Conversion Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 | °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

UV Index Scale

• 0-2 (Low): Minimal sun protection required for normal activity
• 3-5 (Moderate): Take precautions - seek shade during midday hours
• 6-7 (High): Protection essential - use sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses
• 8-10 (Very High): Extra protection needed - avoid sun exposure when possible
• 11+ (Extreme): Take all precautions - unprotected skin can burn in minutes

Tips for Accurate Results

• Use specific city names for more accurate results (e.g., "London, UK" vs just "London")
• For US locations, you can use ZIP codes for precise location matching
• Enable location services for automatic detection of your current position
• Weather data updates every few minutes - refresh for the latest information
• Forecasts are generally more accurate for the next 1-3 days
• Remember that weather can change quickly - always check before important events

Privacy & Data

When you use the location feature, your coordinates are only used to fetch weather data and are not stored or shared. All searches are performed through secure API connections. Recent searches are saved locally on your device for convenience and can be cleared at any time. No personal information is collected or transmitted beyond what's necessary to provide weather data.

Troubleshooting

• Location not found: Try being more specific or use a nearby larger city
• Geolocation not working: Ensure location permissions are enabled in your browser
• No data displayed: Check your internet connection and try again
• Inaccurate data: Weather conditions can change rapidly; refresh for updates
