• “Forecast - daily”: This provides a daily forecast (7 days) for the supported municipalities listed in a selector.
• “Forecast - hourly”: This provides an hourly forecast (the number of hours is a parameter) for the supported municipalities listed in a selector.
• “Hourly observation data - station”: This provides hourly observation meteorological data (last 24 hours) from a specific meteorological station (also listed in a selector).
• “Current observation data - multiple stations”: This provides the last reported observation (it may have happened a few hours since the last report) for each meteorological station selected in a multiple option selector.
