Hello, and thank you for your question.
The observed 12-hour shift in temperature, with higher values at night and lower during the day, can be caused by either a display or synchronization issue in the meteogram or by actual meteorological conditions such as nocturnal temperature inversion, warm air advection at night, cold front passage, or cloud cover reducing daytime heating. Our 3-hourly forecast temperatures correspond exactly to the indicated hour and are not averages. The Dataset API uses sunrise and sunset times to differentiate day and night values at "00:00" and "12:00." If the temperature curve appears shifted by 12 hours, it may be due to a display problem or a misunderstanding of the time reference.
We hope we were able to answer your questions and wish you pleasant weather with meteoblue.
