Changelog

What’s New

Airpult is now noticeably faster and more reliable.

We’ve finished consolidating our infrastructure so that the database, Redis, application servers, and weather API all run on the same private network. Requests that used to cross the public internet between services now stay entirely inside our network.

How It Works

Colocating these services removes a large chunk of latency from every page load and API call. Internal requests no longer pay the cost of traversing the open internet, which also means fewer failure points between the pieces that power the site.

Alongside the move, we’ve added more redundancy across the stack so a single failing component no longer takes anything user-facing down with it.

What’s Next

We’ll keep tightening the setup and adding headroom as traffic grows, with the same focus on keeping forecasts, maps, and the API fast and dependable.

A detailed article walking through the new setup, what moved where, and why is coming soon.

What’s New

The Airpult Webcams API is now live. You can search and filter webcams by location, bounding box, or country, retrieve snapshot history, build map clusters, and embed an interactive snapshot player.

How It Works

Webcam endpoints sit alongside the rest of the Airpult API and use the same API key authentication. Each webcam response includes location, metadata, and a short-lived token for the embeddable player.

What’s Next

The groundwork is in place, and our focus now is on growing coverage. We’re actively working on adding more webcams across more locations, and community submissions continue to feed into that pipeline.

Full details, parameters, and example responses are in the Webcams API docs.

Location forecast pages now have RSS feeds in beta for premium subscribers.

What’s New

We’ve started rolling out RSS feeds for location forecast pages.

This is available in beta today for premium subscribers only.

How It Works

You can access a feed by adding /rss to the end of any forecast page URL.

That gives you a simple way to follow forecast updates for a specific location in your RSS reader.

Where to Try It

Open any forecast page, add /rss to the end of the URL, and try it there if you have a premium subscription.

Airpult account holders can now submit webcams to help improve our global coverage.

What’s New

You can now submit webcams directly through Airpult. If you know of a webcam that shows current weather conditions in your area, you can send it our way and we’ll review it for inclusion.

This is available to anyone with an Airpult account.

How It Works

Head to the webcam submission page, paste the webcam URL, and add a few details like the location name. We review each submission before it goes live to make sure it meets our quality standards.

Why It Matters

Our webcam coverage relies on finding reliable, up-to-date streams across the world. Community submissions help us reach places we haven’t covered yet and keep our network growing.

We've launched a simple Chrome extension for checking Airpult weather and air quality without leaving your browser.

What’s New

We’ve launched Airpult Weather on the Chrome Web Store, a simple Chrome extension for checking weather at a glance.

After signing in to your Airpult account, you can search for a city and open a compact forecast popup straight from your browser toolbar.

What It Includes

The extension shows current conditions, hourly and 7-day forecasts, and quick stats like UV index, humidity, and daylight times.

If your Airpult account includes them, air quality and yesterday’s weather appear there too.

Where to Get It

Install Airpult Weather from the Chrome Web Store, sign in on airpult.com, and pin it to your toolbar for faster access.

We've removed dark mode on the web to focus on a higher-quality light mode experience. iOS still supports both light and dark mode.

What’s New

We’ve removed dark mode from the Airpult web experience, so the site now uses light mode only.

We found that most people prefer light mode on the web, and keeping one appearance helps us spend more time improving design quality instead of splitting that work across two modes.

What This Means

This change only applies to the web.

Our iOS apps will continue to support both light mode and dark mode.

English pages now use root URLs instead of the /en prefix, while other locales like /it and /de remain unchanged.

What’s New

We’ve changed our locale URL structure so English now uses the root path instead of the /en prefix.

That means the default international English version of the site is now at /, while other locales still use their locale prefix, such as /it and /de.

What This Means

This is a small change, but it makes the URL structure simpler and easier to follow.

Nothing else about the site experience changes, and localised versions remain available in the same way as before.

Climate pages for locations have been rebuilt, and country-level climate pages are now starting to roll out.

What’s New

We’ve overhauled Airpult’s climate pages for locations with a clearer structure, richer summaries, and improved monthly breakdowns across temperature, precipitation, wind, and seasonal patterns.

We’re also starting to roll out country climate pages, extending climate insights beyond individual locations.

Why It Matters

This update makes climate pages more useful for trip planning and place research, whether you’re comparing seasons, checking rainfall patterns, or looking for a quick high-level summary before diving into forecast data.

Explore now has a new structure for browsing continents, countries, and locations, with search built directly into the page.

What’s New

We’ve rebuilt Explore so you can move from continent, to country, to location in a clearer way.

The old Countries section now redirects to Explore, and the new layout makes it easier to browse places before jumping into a forecast.

How It Works

Explore now groups countries by continent, with dedicated pages for each continent and country.

Country pages include top locations, links into full location lists, and direct paths into forecast pages. Search is also built into Explore, so pressing Enter on a location search takes you straight to results on the same page.

Where to Start

Start with Explore, browse by continent, or search for any place directly from the page.

We're starting multilingual support for Resources, with translations rolling out gradually from today.

What’s New

Airpult already supports English, Italian, and German across the site experience. Until now, our content has mainly been in English.

Starting today, we’re beginning multilingual content rollout with Resources.

What This Includes

The first section in this rollout is:

• Resources

Current Scope

For now, Guides, Articles, and Changelog entries remain English-only. We may expand multilingual support to those sections later.

Rollout Plan

We’ll be translating existing Resources content gradually, starting March 7, 2026, and publishing new Resources content with multilingual support moving forward.

We've completed a major internal migration to Rust across our entire weather data flow, improving API stability and speed.

What’s New

We’ve completed a major behind-the-scenes overhaul of our weather API infrastructure.

Since launching Airpult, we’ve been steadily migrating our data flow and API stack to Rust. As of today, that transition is fully complete: the entire end-to-end weather data flow is now 100% Rust.

Why This Matters

This change is mostly invisible on the surface, but it directly improves reliability and performance.

The API is now more stable under load, and response performance is faster across the platform.

What’s Next

We’ll keep tuning and optimizing this Rust-based foundation as Airpult grows, with a focus on maintaining fast, dependable weather data delivery.

The Airpult API now includes geocoding endpoints — search for locations by name, look up by ID, or reverse geocode coordinates into named locations.

What’s New

Two new Airpult API endpoints are now available in beta:

• Geocoding — Search for locations worldwide by name with fuzzy matching, filter by country, and retrieve localized results in any supported language. You can also look up a specific location directly by its unique ID.
• Reverse Geocoding — Convert latitude/longitude coordinates into the nearest named location(s), with distance included in the response.

Both endpoints return rich location data including coordinates, country, administrative divisions, timezone, population, and elevation.

Geocoding has been in development for a long time and has gone through an extended period of internal testing. As of today, it powers location search across the Airpult website and is available in beta via the Airpult API.

Why This Matters

Location search is a foundational piece of any weather application. These endpoints let you go from a user’s text input or device coordinates to a structured location object that works with all other Airpult API endpoints — forecasts, historical data, and air quality.

Two new sections on Airpult: weather resources to explain the fundamentals, and guides for practical advice.

What’s New

We’ve added two new content sections to Airpult: Resources and Guides.

Resources are educational articles that explain weather concepts — things like precipitation types, air quality indexes, UV levels, and how pollen forecasts work. Short, factual, and written to help you understand what the numbers in your forecast actually mean.

Guides will cover practical, location-focused content — travel weather guides, seasonal tips, and advice for planning around the weather.

Why We Built This

Weather data is only useful if you know how to read it. These sections give context to the forecasts and metrics you see on Airpult, so you can make better decisions with the information we provide.

See real-time webcam feeds for locations around the world — check conditions on the ground before you head out.

What’s New

Airpult now has live webcams. You can browse webcam feeds from locations around the world, with images updating throughout the day.

How It Works

Each webcam is tied to a location on Airpult. Browse the full list from the webcams page, or find webcams linked from individual location pages. The feeds show the latest available image so you can see current conditions on the ground.

Why It’s Useful

Forecasts tell you what to expect — webcams show you what’s actually happening. Useful for checking ski conditions, visibility at a mountain pass, or whether the beach is worth the drive.

What’s Next

We’re starting with a smaller set of webcams and expanding gradually. Right now, many locations won’t have webcams — that’s intentional. We’d rather add reliable, quality feeds over time than flood the page with broken or low-quality streams. Coverage will grow steadily as we vet and add new sources.

Look back at the weather for any location: daily conditions, temperatures, wind, and precipitation going back 10 years.

What’s New

You can now view historical weather data for any location on Airpult. Select a date and get a full daily breakdown including temperature highs and lows, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, and more, going back up to 10 years.

Where to Find It

Head to any location’s forecast page and look for the history link. You can browse day by day or jump to a specific date.

Minute-by-minute rain forecasts for the next two hours, based on real radar data.

What’s New

We’ve added minutely precipitation nowcasting to Airpult. This gives you a minute-by-minute rain forecast for the next two hours, based on real radar observations rather than weather model output.

How It Works

We take the latest radar frames and use them to project where precipitation is heading in the short term. The result is a per-minute precipitation forecast that updates frequently and is much more responsive to what’s actually happening right now.

Where It’s Available

This currently covers Europe and the United States. If you’re in a supported region, you’ll see the minutely data on your forecast page automatically.

A new place to follow what's changing at Airpult. Updates, new features, and fixes, all in one spot.

A Place for Updates

We’ve added a changelog to Airpult. Going forward, this is where we’ll post about new features, improvements, and fixes as they ship.

Why Now?

Airpult has been growing steadily, and we’ve been shipping changes without a great way to communicate them. This fixes that. Simple, chronological, easy to scan.

What to Expect

Each entry will cover what changed and why, along with anything you might need to know as a user.
