Meteomatics provide a weather API that can be used to overlay a wide range of weather layers onto your map as a WMS overlay.

To use Meteomatics, we need to use access token authentication.

Firstly, set the WMS Server URL as below: https://api.meteomatics.com/wms

Set the Authentication Type to “Token / API Key in URL” Set the Authentication Property Name to “access_token”

Then for the Authentication Property Value you need to get an access token from Meteomatics. Logging into this address will allow you to obtain a token: https://login.meteomatics.com/api/v1/token

Meteomatics uses WMS version 1.3.0 so we need to override Icon Map Pro to use this version:

Set Custom Parameter Name to “version” Set Custom Parameter Value to “1.3.0”

And finally enter the name of the metomatics layer into Layer. Eg “t_2m:C”
