Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “user”) and ExactSky Weather(“we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the website at exactskyweather.comand all related features (collectively, the “Service”).
By accessing or using the Service you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher), that you have read and understood these Terms, and that you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Description of Service
ExactSky Weather is a free weather information platform providing real-time conditions, hourly and 15-day forecasts, live radar, and curated weather news for cities worldwide. The Service is funded in part through third-party advertising.
Weather forecast data is sourced from Open-Meteo, an open-source meteorological API published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. ExactSky Weather accesses this data under Open-Meteo’s commercial API licence, which permits its use on an advertising-funded, commercial website. Radar imagery is provided by RainViewer. News content is aggregated from publicly available sources via NewsData.io. We do not originate, write, or editorially control third-party news articles.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.
Weather Data Accuracy Disclaimer
Important — Read Carefully
Weather forecasts are inherently probabilistic. No forecast is guaranteed to be accurate. Do not rely solely on information from this Service for safety-critical decisions.
All weather data, forecasts, radar imagery, and related information are provided for informational and general-interest purposes only. They are not a substitute for:
- Official warnings and advisories issued by national meteorological services (e.g. NOAA, Met Office, BOM).
- Professional meteorological advice for aviation, maritime, agricultural, or emergency management purposes.
- Your own judgement and real-time observation of local conditions.
We expressly disclaim all liability for any harm, injury, loss, or damage arising from reliance on weather data or forecasts provided by the Service. Always refer to your local emergency management authority for severe weather guidance.
User Accounts
Certain features (such as weather alert subscriptions and saved cities) require you to create an account via a supported OAuth provider (Google or GitHub). By creating an account you agree to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms, without notice.
