“While OpenWeather provides a robust range of weather data, including forecasts and air quality, the overall performance fell short with a mix of speed and reliability issues. Successful requests showed good accuracy, but the average latency was frustrating, particularly for slower responses like the weather overview, which took over two seconds—something that could deter real-time applications.”
“OpenWeather delivers solid, reliable weather data across all the major use cases—current conditions, forecasts, air quality, geocoding—but 70% success rate and 2.5-second latencies on some queries are unacceptable for a paid service that should be rock-solid infrastructure. The core functionality works, but the inconsistency and sluggishness would make me nervous betting critical systems on it.”
