Question 1

Where does the weather data come from?

Accepted Answer

We aggregate data from 13+ independent weather sources including METAR observations, Met.no, Open-Meteo, WeatherAPI, and more. Our consensus engine weighs each source based on historical accuracy.

Question 2

How often is the data updated?

Accepted Answer

The weather engine fetches fresh data every 5 minutes. METAR observations update roughly every 30 minutes.

Question 3

What is the consensus engine?

Accepted Answer

Instead of relying on a single weather provider, we combine data from multiple sources using a weighted consensus algorithm. Sources with better track records get higher weights.

Question 4

What do the confidence scores mean?

Accepted Answer

Confidence scores (0-100%) indicate how much our sources agree on a given measurement. High confidence means most sources agree.

Question 5

Is the marine data accurate for boating?

Accepted Answer

Our marine data comes from NDBC buoys and marine forecast models. Always check official BWS marine forecasts and use proper seamanship.

Question 6

How do weather alerts work?

Accepted Answer

Alerts come directly from the Bermuda Weather Service and National Weather Service. Push notifications are available for subscribers.

Question 7

Can I access the data via API?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer a public API (v2) with endpoints for current conditions, forecasts, marine data, aviation products, alerts, and more.

Question 8

Why does the temperature sometimes differ from other apps?

Accepted Answer

Different weather apps use different data sources and locations. Our consensus approach typically lands between the extremes.
