They've also got a developer interface - https://developer.yr.no

One of the things that I've seen with them that I haven't seen with others is the cloud cover by layer.

For doing photography (sunsets) there's a significant difference between 50% high clouds and 50% low clouds.

I've mainly used YR:s API, it's no fuss, no registration and the data is good enough for me in a neighbouring country. It's a perk that they have some neat widget endpoints that consume a location and generate an image.

That L/M/H cloud breakdown is always beneficial, "Clear Outside" also has a similar feature in the forecast https://clearoutside.com/forecast/50.7/-3.52
