Weather data — also called meteorological observations or weather metrics — refers to the live measurements that describe the current state of the atmosphere. The six core metrics on this hub (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall) are the foundation of every weather report, forecast, and climate study.
Weather data is a collection of measurable atmospheric variables observed at a specific location and time. Modern weather stations and satellites continuously record dozens of variables, but six of them — temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall — form the backbone of operational meteorology. Together they capture the atmospheric state well enough to support forecasting, agriculture, aviation, marine navigation, energy planning, and everyday decision-making.
Live temperature data shows the current air temperature in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit. Temperature is measured 1.5 to 2 metres above ground in a shaded, ventilated enclosure to avoid direct sun and surface effects. Beyond the raw number, this page also shows the feels-like temperature, dew point, the day's high and low, and a 24-hour temperature chart for any location worldwide.
Live humidity data shows relative humidity as a percentage, indicating how saturated the air is with water vapor. Relative humidity above 70% feels muggy and reduces evaporative cooling; below 30% the air feels dry and can irritate skin and respiratory passages. The page also reports the dew point — the temperature at which condensation forms — which is often a better measure of how humid it actually feels than relative humidity alone.
Live pressure data shows current atmospheric pressure in hectopascals (hPa), millibars (mb), and inches of mercury (inHg). Standard sea-level pressure is 1013.25 hPa. Falling pressure usually signals approaching wet or stormy weather; rising pressure means stable, settled conditions are likely. Tracking the pressure trend over hours is one of the oldest and most reliable short-term forecasting techniques.
Live wind speed data shows current sustained wind and gust speeds in km/h, mph, m/s, and knots. The page also reports the Beaufort scale rating — from calm (0) through hurricane force (12) — which describes the wind's practical effect on the environment. Wind speed matters for sailing, aviation, wildfire risk, wind energy generation, and outdoor activities of every kind.
Live wind direction data shows the direction from which the wind is currently blowing, in compass degrees and cardinal points (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). Note that wind direction always describes where the wind comes from, not where it goes to — a "north wind" blows from north to south. Direction is essential for sailing, aviation runway selection, smoke and pollution drift, and tracking storm movement.
Live rainfall data shows precipitation totals in millimetres and inches. The page covers current rain rate, hourly precipitation, daily and weekly totals, and a rainfall intensity classification (light, moderate, heavy, violent). Rainfall data feeds flood forecasting, agricultural planning, water resource management, and stormwater engineering.
The live data on these pages comes from a combination of national meteorological observation networks (METAR stations at airports, synoptic stations operated by national weather services like NOAA, the UK Met Office, ECMWF, and equivalents worldwide), satellite remote sensing, weather radar, ocean buoys, and citizen weather networks. Open-Meteo aggregates this multi-source data through national open-data programmes and serves it as a continuously updated stream for every location worldwide.
Weather data is critical infrastructure in the modern economy. A few examples:
Each metric page on this site shows the current value at the top, with the underlying station data and a short-term chart below. Use the location detection button (📍) to get readings for your exact position, or search any city worldwide. The values update continuously as new observations arrive — typically every few minutes for major stations and every 10 to 60 minutes for global gridded data.
If weather data is the what, weather instruments are the how. The instruments hub shows the six classic devices used to measure these metrics — thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, anemometer, wind vane, and rain gauge. Each instrument page has the same live readings as the metric pages, but with the instrument-shaped visualisation and the educational context about how the measurement works.
Beyond the six core metrics, you can also explore the weather forecast hub for multi-day predictions, the maritime weather hub for sea state and offshore conditions, the severe weather hub for hazardous conditions, and the space weather hub for solar activity that affects radio communications, GPS, and the aurora.
Most metrics update every 5 to 15 minutes as new observations from automated weather stations and satellites arrive. The page itself refreshes as you load it; for the latest reading, click the refresh button on any metric page.
This hub shows current observed data — what the atmosphere is doing right now at your location. For predicted future values, visit the weather forecast page.
Yes. Each metric page has a search box that accepts any city name or coordinates. The live data comes from the closest available observation source.
Readings come from national meteorological networks plus open data from research and citizen science programmes. Accuracy depends on the closest station and how representative it is of your exact micro-location — readings are most accurate within 5 km of an official station and increasingly approximate as distance grows.
This hub focuses on live and near-term data. For long-term records, refer to your national weather service archives or open climate data providers like NOAA, ECMWF, and the Copernicus Climate Data Store.
