Hub-height wind field
Wind speed and direction at 100 m on a one-degree grid across Texas and its surroundings — the field itself, to be drawn rather than charted. The grid runs past the state line on purpose: a particle advected to the edge of its data dies there, and thinning flow along a border reads as weather when it is not. Data by Open-Meteo, CC-BY-4.0.

What it measures
Every value, its unit, and what the source means by it.
- Wind speedm/s
Forecast wind speed at 100 m — turbine hub height.
wind_speed_100m_ms - Wind direction°
The compass bearing the wind blows from, at 100 m. The direction the air travels is the opposite of this.
wind_direction_100m_deg
Columns
Exactly what a request answers with, read from the API rather than written here.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| interval_start_utcrequired | timestamp | Start of the hour the values describe, UTC.e.g. 2026-08-31T12:00:00Z |
| cellrequired | string | Grid cell id, encoding its own position: G_315_1005 is 31.5°N, 100.5°W — tenths of a degree, west positive.e.g. G_315_1005 |
| wind_speed_100m_msrequired | number | Forecast wind speed at 100 m, metres per second. Hub height, so this is the field that matters for wind generation.e.g. 8.7 |
| wind_direction_100m_degrequired | number | Direction the wind blows FROM at 100 m, degrees from north — the meteorological convention. A vector pointing where the air is going is the reverse of this, and that flip is where the sign gets lost.e.g. 165 |
| latrequired | number | Latitude of the reading, degrees north. Published by the source, not inferred: this is where the instrument is or the point that was sampled.e.g. 30.19 |
| lonrequired | number | Longitude of the reading, degrees east of Greenwich.e.g. -97.67 |
| source_published_at_utcrequired | timestamp | The vintage: which issue of the forecast this row belongs to. The same hour appears once per issue, and the newest is the current view.e.g. 2026-08-31T13:00:00Z |
| collected_at_utcrequired | timestamp | When Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector.e.g. 2026-08-31T13:02:00Z |

Ask an agent
The same stream through the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can query it directly.
claude mcp add --transport http dryos https://api.dryos.ai/mcpThen ask:
What has Wind speed been at G_325_0975 over the last 24 hours, and when did it peak?
Setup for every client is on the MCP server page.
How this stream is checked
- Pulled straight from Open-Meteo (CC-BY-4.0) — no reseller in between — and compared against that file before it is served.
- Null means the source did not report it — never zero.
- A reading lands every 3 hours; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
- Every weather timestamp is UTC at the source and at Dryos.
