Radar-derived precipitation intelligence
Near-real-time radar-derived precipitation data for operational systems, applications, and business locations.
Monitor fixed locations or geographic areas, retrieve current rain intensity, and identify temporary radar-coverage interruptions through a simple API.
Available for selected business integrations and pilot projects.
Near real timeRadar observations, continuously processed
Location awareCoordinates plus a configurable radius
Explicit statusAvailability is part of every result
Integration readyConcise JSON for operational systems
Built for operations
Get the information your systems need without turning every operational decision into a weather-data project.
Evaluate current precipitation for a latitude, longitude, and configurable search radius—not just a generic city forecast. Depending on the integration, optional outputs could also include distance to precipitation, approximate precipitation-covered area, and the types detected within the radius: rain, mixed precipitation, snow, or freezing rain.
Check multiple fixed business locations at the cadence your operation requires.
Differentiate current data, temporary source interruptions, and locations outside supported coverage.
Use concise JSON responses in dispatch, routing, dashboards, or automated workflows. Batch requests, threshold alerts, and custom integrations can be provided depending on the use case.
Clear by design
Send a coordinate and radius. Receive a compact result with the latest processed timestamp, coverage state, and rain intensity when current radar data is available.

The example shows the intended production API shape. Distance to precipitation, precipitation-covered area, and types within the radius—rain, mixed precipitation, snow, or freezing rain—could be added as optional fields. Authentication, response fields, and delivery options are finalized for each integration.
Reliability without ambiguity
Commercial deployments can be operated on monitored, high-availability API infrastructure. API-platform availability and radar-data availability are reported separately.
No stale data presented as current. When a source is delayed or unavailable, the API can report that condition explicitly.
The underlying observations are supplied by national and regional meteorological services. Maintenance, repairs, transmission problems, or other external issues can temporarily affect radar-data availability.
Operational use cases
Designed for teams that need location-specific precipitation data inside real workflows—not another consumer weather screen.
Use current rain conditions in dispatch, courier operations, ETA calculations, and customer communication.
Track precipitation around outdoor sites and trigger internal operating procedures.
Continuously monitor locations and react when rain begins or intensifies.
Integrate precipitation information into routing, safety, and fleet-management workflows.
Selected geographic coverage
Coverage is available in selected countries and regions. Share the locations relevant to your business, and we will confirm radar coverage, normal update frequency, and commercial availability.
Pricing depends on geographic coverage, monitored locations, update frequency, usage pattern, support requirements, and permitted use.
