Flood Forecasts#

Get daily river discharge predictions for any location on Earth, up to 92 days into the future. The Open-Meteo Flood API provides discharge volumes in cubic meters per second, plus comprehensive forecasts with mean, median, and maximum discharge values.

Tools#

• get_river_discharge — Daily discharge forecast for a location (lat/lon). Default 7 days, max 92.
• get_flood_forecast — Comprehensive forecast including mean, max, and additional discharge metrics. Default 16 days.

When this matters#

• Early warning systems for communities near rivers
• Insurance and risk assessment for flood-prone areas
• Agricultural planning that depends on river levels
• Emergency preparedness — checking if a river near coordinates is expected to surge
