# Global Weather Rain Outlook

> Global Weather Rain Outlook is a paid API for AI agents from weather-global.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Returns a rain forecast for the next 6–48 hours at any lat/lon coordinates, including start time, total millimetres, peak hour, wet hours count, and intensity summary.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability global-weather-rain-outlook-85f45aa6
```

Example prompt: What's the rain outlook for the next 24 hours at latitude 51.51, longitude -0.13 — when does rain start, how many millimetres total, and which hour will be the heaviest?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a focused, short-range precipitation forecast (6–48 hours) for any global coordinate pair, especially when you need structured hourly rain data, start time, total mm, and peak intensity rather than a general multi-day weather summary. Prefer this over the general forecast endpoint when rain specifics are the primary concern, and over the day-by-day forecast when sub-24-hour resolution and rain start timing matter.

## Known failure modes

- Missing lat or lon parameters returns a validation error
- Coordinates outside supported coverage area may return null or degraded data
- Hours value outside 6–48 range defaults to 24 or may return an error
- Payment failure (x402) results in a 402 response with no forecast data
- Upstream weather model unavailability may trigger degraded=true with partial results

## How this service works

Rain outlook for the next 6 to 48 hours at any coordinates: when it starts, total millimetres, peak hour and intensity.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: total expected rainfall in mm, time the first rain begins, the peak rain hour, number of wet hours, an hourly array of mm-per-hour values with timestamps, a plain-language verdict and summary, the data source and model update time, and optional degraded/disclaimer flags if forecast confidence is reduced.
