Very nice! Thank you for posting this.

I run a cronjob which sends me the forecast for the next day based on german weather service MOSMIX forecasts. I am using https://brightsky.dev for this, which makes the clunky xml files of MOSMIX available as a http api.

I’ll definitely check out open-meteo

I also tried brightsky.dev, but it is limited to weather stations in the MOSMIX system. IRRC only Germany. In terms of forecast quality, MOSMIX should be great!

One goal of mine, would be to provide historical data of the past months to enable users to run their own statistical forecasts combined with weather models. It is actually quite easy to use measurement data and correct forecasts using simple machine learning models like random forrest. If you compare wind speed measures and forecasts, there usually is a simple statistical error that can be reduced easily. Maybe in the next month I will to some tests and example code
