All response arrays are chronological. Each window includes its start_time and excludes its end_time , so adjacent windows do not overlap. Although local time determines the daily and day/night boundaries, every timestamp is returned in UTC.
| Block | Behavior |
|---|---|
| hourly | Contiguous one-hour windows covering the full available forecast horizon. |
| daily | Local midnight-to-midnight windows. The first and last windows are clipped to the forecast horizon. Daylight-saving transitions can produce 23- or 25-hour windows. |
| day_night | Alternating local sunrise-to-sunset day windows and sunset-to-sunrise night windows. The first and last windows are clipped to the forecast horizon. If an astronomical sunrise or sunset is unavailable for a polar location, the endpoint falls back to 06:00 and 18:00 local time. |
