Product concept

5 day forecast is available at any location on the globe. It includes weather forecast data with 3-hour step. Forecast is available in JSON or XML format.

Call 5 day / 3 hour forecast data

How to make an API call

You can search weather forecast for 5 days with data every 3 hours by geographic coordinates. All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.

API call

api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?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)
units optional Units of measurement. standard, metric and imperial units are available. If you do not use the units parameter, standard units will be applied by default. Learn more
mode optional Response format. JSON format is used by default. To get data in XML format use mode=xml. Learn more
cnt optional A number of timestamps, which will be returned in the API response. Learn more
units optional Units of measurement. standard, metric and imperial units are available. If you do not use the units parameter, standard units will be applied by default. Learn more
lang optional You can use the lang parameter to get the output in your language. 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.

Min/max temperature in current weather API and forecast API

Please do not confuse min/max parameters in our weather APIs.
  • In 5 day / 3 hour forecast API, Hourly forecast API and Current weather 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":30.15, //min current temperature in the city
  "temp_max":306.15 //max current temperature in the city
},

For comparison take a look at example of Daily Forecast Weather API response:

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 5 days with data every 3 hours by city name. All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.

API call

api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q={city name}&appid={API key}
api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q={city name},{country code}&appid={API key}
api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q={city name},{state code},{country code}&appid={API key}
Parameters
q required City name, state code and country code divided by comma, use ISO 3166 country codes.

You can specify the parameter not only in English. In this case, the API response should be returned in the same language as the language of requested location name if the location is in our predefined list of more than 200,000 locations.
appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
mode optional Response format. JSON format is used by default. To get data in XML format use mode=xml. Learn more
cnt optional A number of timestamps, which will be returned in the API response. Learn more
units optional Units of measurement. standard, metric and imperial units are available. If you do not use the units parameter, standard units will be applied by default. Learn more
lang optional You can use the lang parameter to get the output in your language. Learn more
