Thermohélie estimates 2 m air and sun-exposed surface temperatures (asphalt, sand, metal, roofing) anywhere on Earth, hour by hour, from a transient energy balance on Open-Meteo data — with uncertainty and confidence on every result, from today to 2100.

Could you build this?
Partial Fetching Open-Meteo weather data is simple, but calculating transient thermal energy balances across diverse surface materials requires specialized thermodynamic physics modeling.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a backend (Python/NumPy) implementing transient 1D heat conduction and solar radiation models (shortwave/longwave radiation balance, sensible/latent heat flux, conduction into substrate layers for materials like asphalt, sand, and metal). It couples these models to Open-Meteo hourly climate forecasts and IPCC climate scenarios up to 2100, combined with Monte Carlo simulations to propagate physical parameter uncertainties.
