About This Data Source

At the risk of pointing out something that you, Dear Reader, may find rather obvious, weather is influential. Like the stock market, there are very few problems that aren't in some way influenced by the weather. And while the weather does not tend to be especially predictable on a day-to-day basis, it is a good predictor of seasonal patterns for a great many things. Is your industry or organization impacted by the weather in ways you could better prepare for? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service offers critical real-time data including forecasts, alerts, observations, and other weather data. Use Ensign with this data source to generate a time-series dataset that you could add as a feature for machine learning models, financial planning, and strategy.

Limits

The rate limit is not public information, but allows a generous amount for typical use. If the rate limit is exceeded, the request will return with an error, and may be retried after the limit clears (typically within 5 seconds). Proxies are more likely to reach the limit, whereas requests directly from clients are not likely.
