I suspect my final copy of my predictive solar ( unless I find another weather api that works internationally ) it graphing quite accurately. depending on the accuracy of the info it receives.
supported weather APIs
Openweather
ClimaCell
WeatherBit
Weather Api
Visual Crossing
Aeris
My biggest issue, I live in a remote region and the problem being relative accurate forecast info. in my case they generally using the weather radar station as my Base info for most weather API but that stations like 75 km away from me…
several ways to over come this limitation for me .
- if only using one api service — take several location sample around your general location with each location being about 50km in 2-4 directions and then averaging the out come it gets pretty close prediction.
- subscribe to all the api averaging them out also gives you reasonably good accuracy
- or trial test each api in my case weather-api or weatherbit work the best for me and fairly accurate …
i also included a graphing script that graphs the csv’s if you want to see a quick future sample - here an example of weather api output today
./graph W-API.csv
and yes it was pretty spot on as it was quite overcast with a little bit of drizzle … and it looks like tomorrow will be quite sunny and clear , but only time will tell
well good luck and have fun 
oh yeah my previous versions I use to upgrade every hour to get a rolling average and trending . but alot of other weather api’s do not support that as they only output single point update for forecasts starting at midnight of that day. so that became moot – so once works the best if using all the api’s
