Foreca

Foreca is a weather service whose website covers today's forecast, hourly and ten-day views, a weekly view and a fifteen-day outlook. Around the forecasts sit radar, precipitation, temperature, wind and satellite maps, severe weather and warning pages, hurricane tracking, air quality and an earthquake list. The footer points to separate offerings for developers and media, namely a Weather API, Products for Media, an Add Weather Widget option and a Weather App.

The copyright line reads Foreca Ltd 2026. The pages we read do not say where the company is established, although the terms mention compliance with the Finnish Data Protection Act. The homepage shows no plan names and no prices, so anyone wanting a figure for the API or the media products has to ask the vendor directly.

• Fifteen-day outlook. Beyond the hourly and ten-day views, the site lists a fifteen-day forecast. Long ranges are inherently less certain, and the pages we read do not describe how accuracy is measured or shown to users.
• Maps for several variables. The homepage lists radar, precipitation, temperature, wind and satellite maps. That gives one place to compare layers, though the pages do not state resolution or update frequency for any of them.
• Warnings and hazards. Severe weather, weather warnings, hurricane tracking and earthquakes each have a place on the site. The source of the warnings is not named on the homepage, so users should check which authority is behind them.
• Air quality. Air quality is listed next to the forecasts, which helps people with breathing conditions who plan outdoor time. The pages we read name no pollutant list or index scale.
• Monthly view and history. A monthly weather view and observation history are listed, plus a calendar feed and a way to add weather to a calendar. This suits planning that runs weeks ahead, though the depth of the history is not stated.
• Display settings. Units can be set for temperature, wind, visibility and pressure, and time can be shown in a 12-hour or 24-hour format. These are small settings, but they matter to readers who move between countries.
• Developer and media offers. The footer links a Weather API, products for media and a widget to add weather to another site. No terms, limits or prices for these appear on the pages we read, so scope has to be clarified with the vendor.

• A traveller planning a trip. The fifteen-day view and the monthly page let a traveller look further ahead than a standard ten-day forecast, with maps and warnings on the same site. Treat the far end of the range as indicative only.
• A site owner adding weather. The widget and API entries in the footer suggest options for embedding forecasts in another site. The pages do not show prices or usage limits, so a quote or contact step is likely before launch.
• A media team needing forecast content. A separate Products for Media entry is listed. What it contains is not described on the homepage, so an editorial team would need to ask what formats, licences and delivery methods are offered.

The homepage works without any visible sign-up step: you search for a place and read the forecast, maps and warnings directly. A Weather App and a calendar option are listed for people who want forecasts on a phone or in a diary.

For developers, the footer links a Weather API and a widget, but the pages we read give no key request process, documentation summary or rate limits. We saw no onboarding guide and no statement of how long setup takes. Anyone planning a commercial integration should first ask what licence applies, since the terms we read focus on liability rather than on use of the data.

The site shows hourly, ten-day and fifteen-day forecasts, radar and satellite maps, hurricane tracking, air quality and an earthquake list, and the footer lists a Weather API and a widget.

No plan names or prices appear on the homepage. The terms disclaim liability for decisions taken on the content received. The copyright reads Foreca Ltd, and the pages read do not state where it is established.

Foreca is entry #5 of 12 in the weather apps list: it follows Ventusky and comes before Meteoblue. Established names take the places after the first three, in ranked order, and we give no numeric score.

The vendor states no country of establishment, so Foreca is left out of the regional count for this list.

In the catalogue: Prices not shown on the pages read; API, media products and widgets are listed.

The homepage shows no prices and no subscription plans. The Weather API, Products for Media and Add Weather Widget entries in the footer are listed without any amounts, tiers or trial terms on the pages we read. For that reason we cannot say whether the consumer site is supported by advertising, by paid tiers or by both, and we do not state a figure. The terms and conditions concentrate on liability and data protection. Budget planning for an API or media product therefore starts with a request to the vendor. If a price appears later on a dedicated page, it should be compared against the scope of the licence offered rather than the headline number.

Basis: foreca.com, read for the Best Weather Apps in 2026 guide (reviewed 13 November 2026).

Foreca puts the forecast at the centre and the extras around it: a monthly view, a log of past observations, an option to add weather to a calendar, and unit settings for temperature, wind, visibility and pressure.

Business links in the footer cover media products, widgets and an API, but none shows terms.

Compliance with the Finnish Data Protection Act is stated in the conditions, which is not the same as stating a seat.

The copyright line names Foreca Ltd, and the terms state that the site complies with the Finnish Data Protection Act. The pages we read do not give the country of establishment, a registered address or the location of servers.

The terms state that Foreca has no liability for decisions made on the basis of content received, or for content that is incorrect or defective, so safety-critical decisions should lean on official warnings. No certifications, retention periods or processor lists appear in what we read.
