• Where to get weather data for the last 20ish years?

  I've used https://oikolab.com/ before. Source: about 1 year ago

• Where can I find monthly temperature extremes for each state?

  For specific locations, I run a data service tool (https://oikolab.com) that can help you get the data to do this. Note that the data is from renalayis data and you would need to do some data filtering of your own. Source: over 1 year ago

• Request for Startups: Climate Tech

  Certainly - take a look (https://oikolab.com) and let me know your use case. There is a free tier but we've also given free access to a quite a few number of researchers, non-profits and university students for their projects when they reached out to us. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How did you find problems to build your SaaS product?

  Sure - https://oikolab.com. You can try without signing up via an app too https://weatherdownloader.oikolab.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Updating Wiki To Include Places to Send Data and Articles

  May not be directly related but I run a weather data service (https://oikolab.com / weatherdownloader.oikolab.com) that's probably one of the more comprehensive one out there (hourly global data from 1950 onward). I've been wondering if looking up historical weather data for any location in the world might be of interest to weather enthusiasts and how I might be able to cater to such group? Thanks!

• Weather API forecast and historical

  I run https://oikolab.com and it has a free tier that may be suitable. Source: over 2 years ago

• Weather/Forecast Databases to retrieve data per geographic location

  Hi - I run a weather data service for this very use case (https://oikolab.com) to access weather data as time-series/tabular format. For few years of data for a handful of locations it should be fairly cheap (free to just a few dollars) but feel free to message me if you need a large volume. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Solo-preneurs, how do you DevOps to save time?

  I run https://oikolab.com - it's a weather data service with global, hourly historical weather data from 1950 to 16-day forecast. It launched about a year ago and I think it's probably the largest data offering of its kind. I don't have dev ops experience (I still don't know much) so a lot of what I did was to exhaust the limits of the setup before implementing any new infrastructure, sort of learning as I go... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Subscriptions Don't Work? Ads don't monetize?

  Not really a SaaS, but I've recently changed my weather data service to have Pay-As-You-Go tier and I think this is helping us quite a bit. Metering usage not by API call but customized volume was trickier than I had hoped though. Source: over 2 years ago

• XO Capital looking to acquire!

  Interesting services - I might be interested in the Cold Email service that you run. I run a (mostly) solo weather data API with some interesting clients (first subscription sign-up was a fortune 500 company) and looking to scale. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What can I do to actively fight climate change?

  I ran a climate/weather data site (https://oikolab.com) and if you'd like to give feedback on the API design and the service, it would be much appreciated. Happy to relax restrictions for you to access data if you'd like to poke around and interested in understanding how climate has changed in various locations around the world. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Is there a resource to find hourly weather data from past years?

  I run a web service that has this. Feel free to take a look at https://oikolab.com. The free tier under the pay as you go plan should be more than enough for most casual users. Source: over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Weather API for non-commercial use (open-meteo.com)

  I run a service (https://oikolab.com) that has hourly data going back 70 years. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Where could I get historical wet bulb globe temperature data, or historical AccuWeather RealFeel data, or historical UV index data?

  ERA5 data is excellent. You can actually go back to 1950 to get hourly data including UV (not index but in terms of W/m2). I run a service (https://oikolab.com) that has processed some of these parameters (I don't have UV though) and there is a free tier if you'd like to give it try. Source: over 2 years ago

• Custom Metering & Integrating Azure API Management with Stripe

  I have an API service (https://oikolab.com) that provides time-series weather & climate data using the Azure API management as the gateway platform. Source: almost 3 years ago

• [Request] Across Vietnam Weather Dataset for last two years

  If you're familiar with Python scripts, feel free to also try https://oikolab.com (there is a free trial tier). I run this service to make it easier to access ERA5 data. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Web scraping weather data

  For historical data, I run a weather data API where you can download data by arbitrary lat/lon. It's based on what's called 'reanalysis data' from 1950 onward. Feel free to give it try. Source: about 3 years ago

• Climate change datasets

  For relatively straightforward time-series data like temperature, I run a climate data site that has hourly data since 1950, to generate visualizations such as this: https://twitter.com/oikoweather/status/1382316996604403716?s=20. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What actions did you take against climate change?

  I started a climate data service to allow easier access to climate data (https://oikolab.com). Recently I've been creating and sharing data visualizations to illustrate how serious the situation is becoming: https://twitter.com/oikoweather/status/1382316996604403716?s=20. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• A silly question about climate data vs. weather data...

  I run a small web service that processes ERA5 reanalysis (ECMWF) and GFS (NCEP) data to generate hourly time-series from 1950 to 16 days into the future for a given location. Source: about 3 years ago
