Information about stormglass.io

What is stormglass.io?

stormglass.io is a professional global weather API that provides developers, researchers, and organizations with high-quality land based (terrestrial), ocean and coastal weather data.

The API delivers parameters such as wind, wave, currents, temperature, tides, solar data and other environmental metrics.

stormglass.io is used globally by marine technology companies, environmental agencies, energy companies, agtech software and developers building applications that depend on reliable weather data.

Where stormglass.io Data Comes From

stormglass.io processes global weather data from established meteorological institutions, oceanographic centers, and globally recognized weather models. These include:

National and international meteorological agencies
Oceanographic research institutions
Numerical weather prediction models (NWP models)
Ocean circulation models
Geospatial environmental datasets

stormglass.io collects data from a wide range of oceanographic and meteorological institutions, covering both marine conditions and land-based weather. All data sources are fully transparent — developers can access each provider individually or use Stormglass AI, an intelligent global grid that automatically selects the best-performing source for every location and parameter. This ensures high accuracy, broad coverage, and consistent reliability across both ocean and land environments.
