Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

3-day forecasts of temperature, precipitation and wind. Forecasts have to be provided for several regions in the country. Short-term weather forecasts are relevant for the general public to plan activities, while also being reliable. See our methodology section for more information.

  • Temperature extremes
  • Temperature average
  • Wind speed
  • Wind direction
  • Precipitation Amount
  • Precipitation Probability
  • Forecast for current day and four following days

How open is the data?

The submission was rejected because weather forecast data does not meet all required data. Weather forecast data is available for current day plus four following days for: temperature extremes, as well as precipitation amount. Precipitation amount is described verbally ("brief scattered showers" or similar). No wind data is provided as forecast data. The data is hosted on the website as HTML, and cannot be downloaded. Longer-term forecasts (several months) for precipitation can be downloaded as pdf files showing rain distribution on a heat map. The submitter stated that data was quickly findable, through a google search, as well as on the websites of the meteorological service. The reviewer can confirm this. The original submission was made by Alesha Aris. Thank you very much for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
