Every file is small (under 256 KB) and served at its own address; each says which IPMA file it was made from, with that file's sha256 and the time we read it. IPMA's full responses are not in git: they are in the data store ([dataset.json](dataset.json)), and each data set's page links IPMA's live file. | File | Bytes | What it is | |---|---|---| | [data/warnings.json](data/warnings.json) | 83103 | Every IPMA warning above green that we have read, each with the reads that bracket it: first_read_utc (the first of our reads that carried it) and last_read_utc; gone_read_utc is the first read that no longer carried it, and 'gone' says how: ended (its window | | [data/classes.json](data/classes.json) | 4529 | IPMA's own names for its codes, in Portuguese and English exactly as IPMA publishes them (its spelling kept, trailing spaces trimmed): idWeatherType (significant weather), classWindSpeed (wind strength of the day) and classPrecInt (precipitation intensity). -9 | | [data/places.json](data/places.json) | 31825 | IPMA's places: the 25 warning areas (districts, island groups, parts of Madeira), the places it forecasts for, the coastal places of the sea forecast, and a point for each mainland municipality (from the fire-risk files, with the risk class for today and the n | | [data/stations.json](data/stations.json) | 33440 | IPMA's weather stations (id, name, coordinates as IPMA gives them) and whether each reported in the last 24 hours read.
