The `weather` platforms gather meteorological information from web services and display the conditions and other details about the weather at the given location.
{% include integrations/building_block_integration.md %}
For a list of weather integrations, on the integrations page, select the [weather category](/integrations/#weather).
Read the {% term integration %} documentation for your particular weather provider to learn how to set it up.
Home Assistant currently supports free web services some of which require registration.
## State and state attributes
A weather {% term entity %}'s state is used to indicate the current overall conditions, such as 'cloudy' or 'sunny'.
### Condition mapping
The `weather` {% term entity %} can provide the conditions listed below as its state:
- **Clear, night**: The sky is clear during the night. `clear-night`.
- **Cloudy**: There are many clouds in the sky. `cloudy`.
- **Fog**: There is a thick mist or fog reducing visibility. `fog`.
- **Hail**: Hailstones are falling. `hail`.
- **Lightning**: Lightning/thunderstorms are occurring. `lightning`.
- **Lightning, rainy**: Lightning/thunderstorm is occurring along with rain. `lightning-rainy`.
- **Partly cloudy**: The sky is partially covered with clouds. `partlycloudy`.
- **Pouring**: It is raining heavily. `pouring`.
- **Rainy**: It is raining. `rainy`.
- **Snowy**: It is snowing. `snowy`.
- **Snowy, rainy**: It is snowing and raining at the same time. `snowy-rainy`.
- **Sunny**: The sky is clear and the sun is shining. `sunny`.
- **Windy**: It is windy. `windy`.
- **Windy, cloudy**: It is windy and cloudy. `windy-variant`.
- **Exceptional**: Exceptional weather conditions are occurring. `exceptional`.
### State attributes
Detailed weather conditions as well as the unit of measurements used for the conditions are indicated by state attributes. A weather {% term entity %} may not support all the state attributes.

apparent_temperature: 12.0
cloud_coverage: 0

## Action `weather.get_forecasts`
This action populates [response data](/docs/scripts/perform-actions#use-templates-to-handle-response-data)
with a mapping of weather services and their associated forecasts.
| Data attribute | Optional | Description | Example |
| -------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `type` | no | The type of forecast, must be one of `daily`, `twice_daily`, or `hourly`. The default is `daily`. | daily |
```yaml
action: weather.get_forecasts
target:
entity_id:
- weather.tomorrow_io_home_nowcast
- weather.toronto_forecast
data:
type: hourly
response_variable: weather_forecast
```
The response data field is a mapping of called target entities, each containing the `forecast` field.
`forecast` is a list of forecasted conditions at a given point in time:
| Response data | Description | Example |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `datetime` | The time of the forecasted conditions. | 2023-02-17T14:00:00+00:00 |
| `is_daytime` | Only set for `twice_daily` forecasts. | False |
| `apparent_temperature` | The apparent (feels-like) temperature in the unit indicated by the `temperature_unit` state attribute. | 10.2 |
| `cloud_coverage` | The cloud coverage in %. | 15 |
| `condition` | The weather condition. | Sunny |
| `dew_point` | The dew point temperature in the unit indicated by the `temperature_unit` state attribute. | 6.0 |
| `humidity` | The relative humidity in %. | 82 |
| `precipitation_probability` | The probability of precipitation in %. | 0 |
| `precipitation` | The precipitation amount in the unit indicated by the `precipitation_unit` state attribute. | 0 |
| `pressure` | The air pressure in the unit indicated by the `pressure_unit` state attribute. | 1019 |
| `temperature` | The temperature in the unit indicated by the `temperature_unit` state attribute. If `templow` is also provided, this is the higher temperature. | 14.2 |
| `templow` | The lower temperature in the unit indicated by the `temperature_unit` state attribute. | 5.0 |
| `uv_index` | The UV index. | 3 |
| `wind_bearing` | The wind bearing in azimuth angle (degrees) or 1-3 letter cardinal direction. | 268 |
| `wind_gust_speed` | The wind gust speed in the unit indicated by the `wind_speed_unit` state attribute. | 34.41 |
| `wind_speed` | The wind speed in the unit indicated by the `wind_speed_unit` state attribute. | 24.41 |
