Weather Data OnPoint Weather and Climatology

OnPoint is a data product from our partner: Weather Source LLC.

OnPoint Weather and Climate provide comprehensive weather and climate data on a historical, current, and forecast basis. Variables include temperature, precipitation, wind speed, cloud cover, humidity, solar radiation, surface pressure, wet & dry bulb, perils and storm warnings, average, standard deviation.

OnPoint Weather
This data product/API provides weather data for any location (a geo-code, a postcode, DA, FSA, city, or a trade area) on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, historical, present and forecast (42 days), including
- Temperature
- Precipitation
- Wind speed
- Cloud cover
- Humidity
- Solar radiation
- Surface pressure
- Wet & dry bulb
- Perils such as severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, storm surge, river flooding, high winds, hail & more
OnPoint Climatology
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.

Methodology

The OnPoint Platform by our partner Weather Source LLC curates, decodes, and unifies a range of diverse inputs then stages them on its OnPoint Grid. This globally consistent, 5-kilometer grid covers every land mass in the world and up to 200 miles offshore. Each grid point—nearly 2 million in total—represents a “virtual” weather station with its own unique OnPoint ID from which weather data can be mapped. This unparalleled, high-resolution method ensures your North American location of interest is never more than 3.5 kilometres away from an OnPoint ID—as opposed to potentially hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest airport observation station.
