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?

Comment in response to the reviewers comment 'The review takes following dataset as reference, because it meets the dataset requirements: https://smn.cna.gob.mx/es/pronostico-del-tiempo-por-municipios. The content is not downloadable, and there is no copyright note on the website that would explain whether the data is openly licensed. ' The dataset is available as open data in https://datos.gob.mx/busca/dataset/pronosticos-del-tiempo-por-municipios This API is openly licensed and meets all the requirements asked by the GODI.

The data has been updated but won't be considered for this edition of GODI since the resource wasn't available in bulk before the GODI was closed. Data is ‘openly licensed’, ‘open and machine readable formats’ and ‘downloadable at once’ dimensions, based on the following comments: 1) The right dataset for weather forecast can be found here: https://datos.gob.mx/busca/dataset/pronosticos-del-tiempo-por-municipios1
