What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- Nearest station with recent observations; may fall back to a stale reporting station. Station distance is straight-line EPSG:25833 metres, not a measurement at the address. Temperature: Celsius; precipitation: millimetres over the preceding hour; wind: m/s; humidity: percent. When the nearest station carries no anemometer, wind_speed comes from the nearest station that measured wind within the last three hours, named in wind_station_name at wind_station_straight_line_distance_m. Per-measurement quality codes and sensor metadata are retained. Quality 5/6/7 and invalid values are excluded. CC BY 4.0, MET Norway.
Fields
4 of 15 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
