7Timer! vs Aemet

7Timer!

7Timer! generates numerical weather forecasts from NOAA/NCEP's Global Forecast System across roughly 1.5 million global grid points, refreshed four times daily. Beyond standard meteorological fields (cloud cover, temperature, wind, precipitation), it produces astronomy-specific products like "astro seeing" and atmospheric transparency for stargazing/observation planning, with forecast ranges from 3 days (ASTRO) up to a 9-16 day overview product.

Aemet

AEMET OpenData is the official REST API of Spain's national meteorological agency, publishing forecasts, observations, climatology, and warnings ("avisos") restricted to Spanish territory. Requests return a metadata JSON envelope containing a signed URL that must be fetched separately to retrieve the actual payload (JSON, XML, or CSV depending on endpoint), and the service is documented via an interactive Swagger UI and machine-readable OpenAPI spec.
