Data sources
& licences.
The core product publishes historical climate interpretation. A separately labelled England layer now shows imported station metadata and a time-stamped current-flood feed. It does not publish live weather, prices, private accommodation inventory or unapproved affiliate data.
| Dataset | Licence | Commercial use | Derivatives |
|---|---|---|---|
OurAirports airport, country and region filesLarge and medium airports marked as having scheduled service provide a distinct access layer. Airport presence is not treated as proof of a current route, fare or flight.Importer feed: ourairports-airports | Public domain | Yes | Yes |
| NOAA Global Historical Climatology Network Daily (GHCN-Daily)Historical daily station observations are aggregated into 1991–2020 monthly normals. We show the station identifier, name, distance and coverage rather than presenting the values as a forecast. | US federal public-domain data | Yes | Yes |
| GeoNames geographical databasePlace names, stable GeoNames IDs and coordinates identify the settlement to which a nearby station is matched. GeoNames attribution is retained on destination pages. | CC BY 4.0 | Yes | Yes |
| NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) v2.1Where available, the 1991–2020 open-water monthly climatology is shown as contextual sea temperature. It is not a local bay measurement or a live condition. | US federal public-domain data | Yes | Yes |
Environment Agency flood-monitoring stationsThe approved importer snapshot supplies station identity, coordinates, river, catchment and declared measurement capabilities for the England station search. It does not supply readings or safety conclusions.Importer feed: ea-flood-monitoring-stations | Open Government Licence v3.0 | Yes | Yes |
Environment Agency current flood warnings and alertsThe complete time-stamped endpoint is read from the approved R2 import. Current records, a verified zero, a filtered zero and source unavailability remain distinct public states. This beta feed is not an emergency service.Importer feed: ea-current-floods | Open Government Licence v3.0 | Yes | Yes |
| French public holidaysApproved country-level calendar context for France. Holiday dates may explain closures and travel patterns, but are never presented as climate evidence or as a promise that a venue will open. | Licence Ouverte 2.0 | Yes | Yes |
| Orléans tourist-site attendance by hourTightly bounded visitor-pattern context for Orléans only. It can support a future city guide after record-level freshness and venue identity checks; it is not extrapolated to the rest of France. | Licence Ouverte 2.0 | Yes | Yes |
How the evidence is handled
We calculate monthly summaries only where the nearby station and each month meet the coverage checks. A place without enough evidence remains searchable, but does not receive a climate answer. Derived values are labelled as historical or calculated; they are never presented as a prediction.
Environment Agency station identity and current flood state stay separate from climate normals. The current feed always carries its importer timestamp and a safety warning; the station feed never implies that readings were imported.
We do not publish raw source archives or claim a public downloadable dataset. Holding an object in storage is not treated as permission to republish it. Book-related content and sources are outside this product.
Explicit source gates
Unavailable is not the same as zero.
These sources are not silently mixed into the product. Their state explains whether the missing connection is a future gate or simply outside the visitor task.
| Source | Public state here | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Copernicus climate bulk | Unavailable — future gate | The credentialled bulk job and downstream publication review are not approved. It is not connected to rankings, pages or metadata. |
| GBIF occurrence bulk | Not applicable | Species-occurrence evidence does not answer this site's climate or England flood-monitoring task, and its credentialled job remains gated elsewhere. |
| EPC register bulk | Not applicable | Property energy certificates are outside the visitor task and require their own credentials and terms review. |
| Ofcom Connected Nations | Not applicable | Broadband coverage is outside this site's climate and travel-timing evidence product; the current archive is also gated in the importer. |
| OFAC sanctions | Not applicable | Sanctions data is unrelated to the visitor task and is not available through the approved Cloudflare import path. |
