Weather data is valuable to any sim as it can allow developers or modders to implement or enhance weather features such as accurate historical weather, quasi-realistic weather scenarios, weather progression algorithms, calculating weather metrics (such as averages, medians, standard deviations, etc.), and more.
Weather data is valuable to any sim as it can allow developers or modders to implement or enhance weather features such as accurate historical weather, quasi-realistic weather scenarios, weather progression algorithms, calculating weather metrics (such as averages, medians, standard deviations, etc.), and much more, making for more immersive, varied, and interesting weather experiences.

'''Releases'''
* '''[2024-11-04]'''
* New locations supported: Autódromo Brasilia BRB, Circuito de Cartagena, Circuit de Charade, Gelleråsen Arena (Karlskoga Motorstadion), Goiânia, Salvador (Circuito Ayrton Senna aka CAB Circuit), Autódromo Internacional de Santa Cruz do Sul, Autódromo Internacional de Tarumã, Vålerbanen, Velopark
* Fixed: In the previous release (2024-10-05), only new tracks had migrated data in sqlite databases. Fully migrated sqlite databases will be published in the next release.
* Fixed: Visibility wasn't properly migrated as visibility data had gaps of zero records. It now uses an average when the data is missing.
* '''[2024-10-05]'''
** New locations supported: Autopolis International Racing Course, Bahia Blanca (Ezequiel Crisol, Autódromo), Buenos Aires (Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez), Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba (Autódromo de Pinhais, Circuito Raul Boesel), Jacarepaguá (Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet, Autódromo Riocentro), Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Circuito Monteblanco (Huelva, Spain), Sportsland SUGO, Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo, Tsukuba Circuit
** Bug (2024-11-02): In the previous release (2024-10-05), only new tracks had migrated data in sqlite databases. Fully migrated sqlite databases will be published in the next release.

Real Weather Data

Weather data is valuable to any sim as it can allow developers or modders to implement or enhance weather features such as accurate historical weather, quasi-realistic weather scenarios, weather progression algorithms, calculating weather metrics (such as averages, medians, standard deviations, etc.), and much more, making for more immersive, varied, and interesting weather experiences.

Racing Circuits Real Weather Data

Latest Release: 2024-11-25
- New locations supported: Circuito Ascari (Ronda, Málaga, Spain), Circuito da Boavista (Porto, Portugal), Cacá Bueno Circuit (Galeao Airport; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) [Shared with Jacarepaguá], Autódromo de Cascavel (Autódromo Internacional Zilmar Beux de Cascavel), Auto Club La Dehesa Alcolea (Alcolea del Pinar, Guadalajara, Spain), Fontana aka Auto Club Speedway aka California Speedway (Fontana, California, USA), Autódromo Internacional de Guaporé (Guaporé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), Ibarra aka Autódromo Internacional José Tobar aka Autodromo Internacional de Yahuarcocha (Ibarra, Ecuador), Maze Sea Circuit (Maze, Nishikan Ward, Niigata, Japan), Circuit Paul Ricard, Summit Point Motorsports Park aka Summit Point Raceway (Summit Point, Washington, United States)
