Changes in the service from February 1st 2022
February 1, 2022 we will discontinue forecast.xml and most of the old widgets. Free weather data can instead be downloaded directly from the Meteorological Institute, but will require rewriting since they are in a different format than the old forecast.xml from Yr.
Most of our widgets will dissapear, but we have made a replacement for the downloadable meteogram in svg format.
Read more about all the changes in our developer portal.
You can get a lot of the same content as on Yr for free, to use for various applications and services.
This is a unique offer in Europe. In other countries weather data is highly valuable and expensive.
Info and guidelines
It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the terms of service before making use of the data.
We have created a website for developers who want to use free weather data. Here you will find documentation for first time users as well as those who need to rewrite from old to new.
