Weather Forecast 70% open

The Electric Transmission Company (Hydrometeorology) is a third party affiliated with government. The license states: On the bottom they have the following disclosure (Im not sure if this is consider a license): The Department of Hydrometeorology makes available to its users the section OPEN DATA in Beta version. We are open to your suggestions please email us at hidromet@etesa.com.pa The use of the data must recognize the Hydrometeorology Department of ETESA as the source of the information. Legal Note: The information provided through this section is of an official nature, however, ETESA is not responsible for the applications and / or interpretation of the data and products generated with them. The data downloaded for use with legal purposes must be requested from the Hydrometeorology Directorate for certification.

There is an open data portal for weather observations (not forecasts). It allows to retrieve data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, air pressure, etc. This data can be downloaded as XLS files. The reviewer agrees that it was very hard to find the data portal in the first place (there is no direct link to the portal on the main website, and also no link when using the site-internal search engine. Only a link to a press announcement appears). Since the portal does not provide weather forecasts, it is not considered for the Index. Forecasts are available for the current day for all characteristics (see here:https://www.hidromet.com.pa/pronostico_diario.php). One-week forecasts contain temperature and precipitation (downloadable as PDF here: https://www.hidromet.com.pa/pdf.php?dir=pronostico_extendido There is a forecast for precipitation amount only, with a legend that explains what verbal descriptions of precipitation mean (e.g. strong rainfall = 25 to 75mm). Since wind forecasts are not provided for current day and following two days, not all data is considered to be available online. Thank you, Victor Díaz Navarro, for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
