This data product/API provides climatology data for any location at any point in time, including

• “Normal” or “average” (mean) weather;
• Deviation from normal (standard deviations);
• Frequency of occurrence for specific weather parameters such as precipitation or extreme temperatures.

It also provides accurate forecasts of up to 15 days with an enhanced and extended forecast out to 42 days.

OnPoint Climatology can be used in combination with OnPoint Weather to identify and rank departures from normal. For example, pairing temperature forecasts from OnPoint Weather with the associated OnPoint Climatology temperature means can yield forecasted anomalies. Departures from normal can have significant influence on consumer behavior and business operations.
