Defined in:
lib/weatherb/api.rb

#nowcast(lat:, lon:, unit_system: 'si', timestep: 1, start_time: 'now', end_time: nil, fields: DEFAULT_FIELDS | DEFAULT_NOWCAST_FIELDS) ⇒ Hash

Nowcast (<= 360min out) The nowcast call provides forecasting data on a minute-­by-­minute basis, based on ClimaCell’s proprietary sensing technology and models.

Parameters:

  • lat (Float) —

    Latitude, -87 to 89.

  • lon (Float) —

    Longitude, -180 to 180.

  • unit_system (String) (defaults to: 'si') —

    Unit system, “si” or “us”.

  • timestep (Integer) (defaults to: 1) —

    Time step in minutes, 1-60.

  • start_time (String) (defaults to: 'now') —

    Start time in ISO 8601 format “2019-03-20T14:09:50Z”, or “now”.

  • end_time (String) (defaults to: nil) —
