This is great news! thank you for the update. I see we can access the data from your api, do you have a place where we can get the grib to extract raster for doing images ?
Hi, we redistribute data in spatial form on AWS [1]. IFS HRES is in its native O1280 grid which most plotting libraries cannot work with. We have some code examples to convert O1280 to 0.1° grids [2]
I have one question: will the historical forecasts also be available through the Historical Forecast API? If so, from what date will they be available?
I noticed that in the Forecast API, IFS HRES includes the variable Wind Speed at 10m, 80m, 120m, and 180m, but in the Historical Forecast this variable is only available at 10m. Will the other altitudes be included in the Historical Forecast API in the future?
Is PBLH available? I see it was there for one day but no longer.

Excellent news!

Thank you very much in advance!
Hi, archived IFS HRES data is already available from 2018 onwards. See here: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/historical-forecast-api?models=ecmwf_ifs&start_date=2025-01-01. We also store the full forecast horizon for individual model runs and working on an API to access it, but its not ready yet ;-)
Thank you for your answer!

Wind level 100m is available. Level 200m will be in the future. You can overwrite the &hourly= parameter in the URL to get 100m wind: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/historical-forecast-api?models=ecmwf_ifs&start_date=2025-09-28&hourly=wind_speed_100m,wind_speed_200m&end_date=2025-10-01
very interesting, thank you! I noticed GFS global also has wind_speed 100m
