## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time current conditions plus short-term hourly weather forecasts for any geographic coordinate worldwide, especially when MET Norway's open meteorological data is acceptable. Ideal for lightweight lookups that don't require multi-day forecasts, severe weather alerts, or historical data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing lat/lon format returns an error
- Coordinates outside MET Norway coverage area may return incomplete data
- Upstream MET Norway API downtime causes failure
- Extremely remote ocean or polar coordinates may have limited data
- Malformed input string (non-numeric values) causes a parse error
