Historical Weather Conditions

Overview

Historical weather conditions data provides us valuable insights into the weather patterns for a particular location. It also helps us predict what the weather may be like given a certain weather pattern that has existed over the last few hours.

Historical current conditions endpoints

In this lesson, we learn how to retrieve the historical current conditions data for a specific location for the past 6 hours and the past 24 hours.

Past 6 hour conditions

We make a GET request to the following URL to get the historical weather conditions data for the past six hours for a location of our choice:

http://dataservice.accuweather.com/currentconditions/v1/{locationKey}/historical

Past 24 hour conditions

Similarly, we make a GET request to the following URL to get the historical weather conditions data for the past 24 hours for a location of our choice:

http://dataservice.accuweather.com/currentconditions/v1/{locationKey}/historical/24
