Met Eireann publishes its forecasts via an open API

Met Eireann has made its forecast data publicly available via a web API and an open licence.

This resource will be of use to researchers and students working on wind energy forecasts, solar pv forecasts, hydropower forecasts and forecasting floods and other weather-related phenomena.

This gridded forecast data includes Temperature, Wind Direction and speed, Humidity, Pressure, Cloud, Dewpoint, Temperature and Precipitation. It includes forecasts from Met Eireann's high resolution HARMONIE system from 00h to 54h in one hour intervals and lower-resolution medium-range forecast data from ECMWF covering 54h to 10 days in varying intervals.

The API description including some sample queries is available here.
