I am looking to hear from people who has knowledge of or prior experience with Weather API´s, and whom might be able to point me in the right direction.



Essentially I'm looking for a Weather API service which also includes 'named storms' and its given distance to my/a specific location.



After a little investigation, I can see that the market is flooded with different Weather API´s, but I'm in doubt of which one would be the most ideal to consume.



Cheers!

    Not sure on an API, but to "name" a storm would require taking advantage of the NEXRAD level 3 STI (Storm Tracking Information) product, which is updated every several minutes. As a storm cell is identified, it is assigned an ID. The STI information has the azimuth and range values from the radar site, which can be converted to LAT/LON. From there, you can do the math to get the distance to the storm from your own location. I have written C++ console apps to do this sort of thing (similar at least). I was going to post this as an answer but it was closed before I pressed enter.

  • Also, I can guide you on where to get this information (it's raw radar data) and how to decode it quite easily.

  • Quite why the moderators think this is off topic is beyond me. It is a reasonable question, he is asking about an API, no different to someone asking the best way to do something in Java using the API's.
