'With Environment APIs from Google Maps Platform, we no longer need to ask the customer to guess the air quality or weather in their area, so the quality of the data is much better, which is adding a whole new dimension to our skin assessment service. There are so many products available, and people want help to find the right ones for them. The more we know about a consumer, the better our recommendations. The richer the insights, the more personalised the treatment.'

Frequently asked questions
What kind of data does Weather provide?
You get global weather conditions, forecasts and history, covering various data points such as temperature, feels like temperature, humidity, dewpoint, precipitation (mix, snow, rain, ice), pressure, UV index, visibility, wind (speed, direction, gust, chill temperature) and cloud cover. It offers endpoints for current conditions, hourly forecast, daily forecast and hourly history. Daily forecasts also include sun set and rise, and moon set, rise and stage.
How reliable and accurate is the Weather API data?
Using the trusted Google Weather forecast, Weather leverages data from official sources and a proprietary, AI powered prediction algorithm. Data is continuously monitored for accuracy and updated in near real-time (refreshed every 15–30 minutes for current and forecast data). The forecast models are enhanced with state-of-the-art, AI-based weather forecasting technology from Google DeepMind and Google Research, and historical data shows accurate performance compared to existing weather models.
What products can Weather be used with?
The Weather API is designed for seamless integration with Google Maps Platform-powered apps and web services. It can easily be used in combination with other products like the Maps, Routes and Places APIs. You can also enhance products by combining it with environmental data from the Solar, Air Quality and Pollen APIs.
What is the difference between WeatherNext in Earth Engine and Big Query, and Weather API?
WeatherNext models provide raw, AI-based model forecast outputs ideal for research, modelling (for example, operational decision models) and analysis in a high resolution. They are made available using open-source code and historical and current weather datasets (updates every six hours) on Earth Engine and BigQuery.
The Google Maps Platform Weather API delivers weather data for current conditions, hourly forecasts and daily forecasts using both AI Weather models and traditional forecasting systems (such as numerical weather prediction) in a low resolution. It comes in a developer-friendly format that seamlessly integrates into apps and web services.
