Which weather API provider do you recommend?

OpenWeatherMap is best for general use with a generous free tier. Tomorrow.io offers minute-level precipitation forecasts. We select based on your specific data needs and budget.

Can weather data be cached?

Yes. We cache current conditions for 10-30 minutes and forecasts for 1-6 hours, significantly reducing API costs while maintaining data freshness.

Can we get hyperlocal weather data?

Yes. Some providers offer grid-level forecasts down to 500m resolution and minute-by-minute precipitation nowcasts for hyperlocal applications.
