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 original submission by Ignacio Alfaro Marín was not accepted because the data found online did not qualify. Forecast data is available from the Instituto Meteorológico Nacional at https://www.imn.ac.cr/en/web/imn/inicio. It should be noted that the Spanish version of the website could not be opened at the time of the review (date: February 28, 2017). The website provides temperature, cloud coverage, precipitation amount, and wind forecasts for the current day. Yet, forecasts are only made available for current day and the following first day, and include only some required characteristics. Data is available in HTML, there is no download function. The data can be requested at https://www.imn.ac.cr/en/web/imn/solicitud-de-servicios, but it is not sure which data are provided through it.

Original submission by Ignacio Alfaro Marín. Thank you for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
