Actual weather and current weather data

One of the most popular uses of weather data is getting information about the current weather at a specific location.

To request information about the current weather at a certain point, you need to include the now object in the request and list the fields you want to get in the response.

Meteum can provide data on:

• temperature – temperature;
• air humidity – humidity;
• atmospheric pressure – pressure;
• precipitation type and intensity – precType, precStrength;
• wind speed and direction – windSpeed, windDirection;
• cloudiness – cloudiness;
• other weather parameters.

You can use the special units of measurement:

• PressureUnit – the pressure value;
• TemperatureUnit – the temperature value;
• WindSpeedUnit – the wind speed value.

You can check a detailed list of available fields and their arguments at Full GraphQL specification.

Example:

{
  weatherByPoint(request: {lat: 52.37125, lon: 4.89388}) {
    now {
      cloudiness
      humidity
      precType
      precStrength
      pressure
      temperature
      fahrenheit: temperature(unit: FAHRENHEIT)
      windSpeed
      windDirection
    }
  }
}
