Map Tiles
Map tiles are available for the last 7 days and for the next 14 days forecast.
For data layers availability, please see our data layers
For developers who would like to superimpose accurate weather conditions on a map, we can help. With support for OpenLayers, Leaflets, MapBox, Google Maps, and Cesium, you can retrieve map tiles (PNG images) at any given moment that you can layer over your existing map interface.
A grid is composed of 256x256 pixel Map Tiles with (x,y) indices, where (0,0) is the northwest corner of the map. The x parameter increases as the map goes east, and y increases as it goes south. Available zoom levels are 1 - 12. As the zoom level increases, so do the number of tiles. A zoom level of one will give you tiles showing the whole world.
A gradient parameter allows to customize the tile color by specifying a series of positions in the gradient with their corresponding color.
For Example: ?gradient=1:93e4dd4d, 2:94d6ab4d, 3:9bca864d
In this example, the gradient is defined with three color positions. The key represents the position as an integer and the value is the color code in HEX format.
