How this helps travel recommendations

Flags rain, heat, flood, tide, river, storm, and exposed-day risk before recommending beaches, roads, waterfalls, ferries, or mountain plans.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Prefer official warning, forecast, observation, hydrology, tide, or climate endpoints over rendered forecast pages.

Recommended refresh

Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

Travel scoring role

Flags rain, heat, flood, tide, river, storm, and exposed-day risk before recommending beaches, roads, waterfalls, ferries, or mountain plans.

Comparable / backup source

TMD, Thaiwater/HII, RID, Copernicus/ERA5, GDACS, local weather warnings, and destination-level editorial checks.

Failure modes

  • Forecast and warning schemas can change.
  • Some sources publish reports rather than stable APIs.
  • Local conditions can differ sharply from provincial summaries.
  • Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
