Advanced Weather Data for AI & ML Models and Forecasts

Quality-controlled observations, ready for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning weather models and forecasts.

Better Weather Data in, Better AI & ML Models and Forecasts Out

Models, forecasts, and other AI/ML applications are only as powerful as the quality of the observational data behind them. The Synoptic Weather API gives Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning initiatives a single platform for the real-time and historical station data needed to train, fine-tune, and validate weather models and forecasts at scale.

The Synoptic platform is home to

Over 170000 Stations
160+ Unique Weather Variables
2 Billion API Calls Per Month

Built for Every Stage of the AI & ML Pipeline

Train

The Synoptic platform provides quality-controlled historical station data with a continuous stream of real-time observations across 170,000 stations and multiple network types.

  • Access the raw observational data powering weather-focused models and forecasts
  •  Control how much data to pull and the cleanliness of the data for each unique use case

Validate & Benchmark

The Synoptic Weather API provides reliable access to historical weather data to validate model output.

  • Compare a forecast or model run directly against what was actually observed at that exact place and time
  • Every observation on the platform goes through Synoptic’s quality control process, so you’re benchmarking against data you can trust

Deploy

Synoptic handles over billions of queries a year through a standard RESTful API, meaning easy implementation into most existing pipelines without custom integration work

  • Receive outputs from the platform in multiple formats: JSON, geoJSON, CSV, or XML
  • Need data the moment it’s observed? Push Streaming delivers a continuous, quality-controlled live feed built for scalable AI & ML models
