The submission is correct. The data is available on a website as weather map. The data is easily understandable and usable by humans. However, the data is only available in HTML and scraping is needed to automatically retrieve the data. The data is not openly licensed. Also data services (such as embedding forecast widgets on third-party websites) fall under restrictive terms of use, and it is not allowed to disseminate the information contained on the website. See the terms of use here: https://www.meteo.be/meteo/view/nl/506883-Algemene+voorwaarden.html After request, the team of https://opendata.meteo.be got back, reporting that currently an open weather data portal is being built. At time of the review the required data was not available on the portal. Thank you, Bart Hanssens, for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
