NAME

LocationforecastLTS - Weather forecast for a specified place, long term support.

DESCRIPTION

This product delivers similar data as locationforecast, but for this product we will support a deprecated version for at least 3 months. Locationforecast will probably be updated more frequently and might have shorter life span for deprecated versions.

This modules implements a full forecast for one location, that is, a forecast with several parameters for a nine-day period.

Please note that available parameters will wary depending on location and forecast time.

Locations inside Norway will have probability elements for temperature, wind, symbol and precipitation. The precipitation element have additional attributes for max and minimum values.

Please note that the probability attribute for precipitation is experimental and can not be reliably used.

A probability element specifies certainty of prognoses for a given parameter for a given time. This certainty is defined by a probabilitycode in the following manner:

probabilitycode : certainty values.
  • 0 : [90% , 100%]
  • 1 : [50% , 90%>
  • 2 : [ 0% , 50%>
    • Symbols

    List over corresponding numbers and ids for symbol elements:
