Un vrai moteur de prévision — pas un simple relais
SkiesAtlas ne se contente pas de relayer des données tierces. Nous ingérons la sortie brute des modèles numériques, la décodons, choisissons le meilleur modèle pour chaque coordonnée et fusionnons le tout dans une API claire et cohérente — livrée en moins de 200 ms.
1 · Ingestion
Nous récupérons la sortie GRIB brute directement auprès des grands centres météo mondiaux, à chaque run de modèle.
2 · Routage
Pour chaque coordonnée, nous sélectionnons le modèle de plus haute résolution disponible — ICON-D2 2 km, HRRR 3 km ou ECMWF 9 km partout. Automatique et transparent.
3 · Unification
Six formats de modèles différents deviennent un seul schéma JSON prévisible — les mêmes noms de champs partout, unités métriques et horodatages ISO.

Une précision fiable
Nous nous appuyons sur la meilleure science disponible et nous nous vérifions en permanence.
Des modèles de référence
ECMWF IFS est régulièrement classé comme le modèle global le plus précis au monde. Nous l'utilisons comme socle mondial et y superposons des modèles régionaux à haute résolution.
Validé en continu
Toutes les quelques heures, nous comparons nos résultats à des prévisions de référence indépendantes sur plus de 20 villes dans le monde pour détecter toute dérive au plus tôt.
Mis à jour toute la journée
Les modèles se rafraîchissent jusqu'à quatre fois par jour (00/06/12/18 UTC). Notre moteur ré-ingère chaque run automatiquement, pour que vous ayez toujours la dernière prévision.
Live forecast accuracy
● verified continuouslyMean absolute temperature error (°C) vs real METAR observations at 1130 global stations — lower is better. Our backbone ECMWF-AIFS and the multi-model BLEND lead the field.

Questions fréquentes
Nous faisons tourner notre propre moteur au-dessus des meilleurs modèles ouverts au monde — ECMWF IFS, DWD ICON, NOAA GFS/HRRR, WaveWatch III, Copernicus CAMS et MUR SST. Nous décodons la sortie brute, routons chaque requête vers le modèle de plus haute résolution pour la zone, et renvoyons une réponse unique, propre et cohérente. Vous obtenez un vrai produit, pas six flux bruts à assembler vous-même.
Nous utilisons ECMWF IFS — largement considéré comme le modèle global le plus précis au monde — comme socle, plus des modèles régionaux à haute résolution (2–3 km) là où ils existent. Nous validons nos résultats en continu par rapport à des références indépendantes, avec un écart typique d'environ 0,6 °C sur la température.
Chaque plan dispose d'un quota journalier remis a zero a 00h00 UTC — le plan gratuit compris : 500 requetes par jour, renouvelees chaque jour. Plans payants : Basic 10 000/jour, Starter 50 000/jour, Pro 200 000/jour, Business 1 000 000/jour. Chaque reponse indique votre quota restant dans l'en-tete X-RateLimit-Remaining.
