Model Selection
The skill auto-selects the best weather model:
| Model | Resolution | Region | Forecast |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICON-D2 | 2.2km | Central Europe/Alps | 48 hours |
| Best Match | varies | Global | 7+ days |
For Alps/Europe locations, ICON-D2 provides superior accuracy. The skill auto-detects location and switches appropriately.
Activity Considerations
Different activities have different weather needs:
- Running/Hiking: Cloud cover + temperature
- Cycling: Wind is critical (>25km/h = challenging)
- Climbing: Needs dry conditions, check precipitation history
- Skiing: Check specialized sources for snow/avalanche
- Open water: Consider water temp (not in this API)
This skill focuses on general outdoor windows. For specialized forecasts:
- Alpine: bergfex.at
- Avalanche: avalanche.report
- Marine: windy.com marine layer
Data Source
- API: Open-Meteo (free, no key required)
