Using API calls to update weather Forecasts

TripSpan Forecasts: Your Travel Weather Edge

Ever wish you could get a custom weather forecast tailored to your trip—not just one location, but for every stop along the way? Welcome to TripSpan Forecasts, the latest innovation from BX9 DataDriveTrain, built to keep you ahead of the elements whether you're bike touring, road-tripping, or planning a multi-stop adventure.

​

This tool tracks the daily forecast for each overnight stop on your itinerary, with an emphasis on what actually matters when you're on the move. Sure, you'll get the basics—highs, lows, and precipitation chances—but the real game-changer? Maximum wind speeds between early morning and late afternoon (aka your prime travel window) and the direction it's coming from. Because nothing derails a ride, hike, or paddle faster than an unexpected headwind.

​

We’ve embedded a live data sample below so you can see it in action.

Check out the forecast below, and stay tuned for more updates as we refine TripSpan Forecasts!

Next steps? Automating the daily update script, then fine-tuning the final Google Sheet presentation, which will live on each tour’s info page under BX9/ChainReactions/BikeTourRoutes. Because smart travelers don’t just check the weather—they plan with it.
