MOS Parameters

The Meteomatics API provides Model Output Statistics (MOS) forecasts for many weather stations around the globe. For more information about MOS and a detailed description on how to query MOS forecasts, please see: Querying MOS data
Currently MOS forecasts are computed for a lead time of 15 days with a temporal resolution of 1 hour for the following parameters (if the parameters are recorded at the selected station):

• Temperature and dew point 2 m above ground level:

  t_2m:<unit>

  t_<measure>_2m_<interval>:<unit>

  dew_point_2m:<unit>

  Available units: C, K, F
  Available measures: mean, min, max
  Available intervals: 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h

• Relative humidity 2 m above ground level:
  

  relative_humidity_2m:p
