Hi, Maybe you should have a look at OpenMeteo. See: https://open-meteo.com/ Open source A lot of data available Up to 16 days forecast Fair use policy. Maximum 10,000 calls/day No API key required I created already a NR flow to send data to Domoticz in order to replace DarkSky Regards

Other options: UK Met Office (mostly UK only of course) Storm Glass Norway MET (not just Norway)

Hi @xx_Nexus_xx , Sure I can, but as I'm currently on holiday and have limited access to my NR, it will be next weekend. Regards

Some month ago I've seen this post on Reddit about this guy that has created a Pirate Weather APIs, have a look at it!
