I added Open Meteo integration but the hourly forecast doesn’t work. After investigating the api response, I concluded that the hourly query wasn’t present in the request.

Is these a way to add it manually?

I don’t use that integration, have you looked at configuration options to see if hourly can be turned on?

If there’s no obvious options it’s likely not supported natively. You could create a restful sensor to retrieve it, just be mindful of api limits.

Yes no obvious open to turn it on.

I’ll see if I can contribute to the main integration to bring this functionality.

Also check HACS, I’ve seen some weather related integrations there that might work instead.

I’ve checked it. Non offered hourly forecast for free.

I’ve tried one but it wasn’t accurate at all. Like it says it’s cloudy now in a 49c clear sunny summer day and no clouds to be seen within 1,000 miles radius.

That day I learned many weather institutions would predict the current weather rather than having actual instruments with real measurements.

If it's similar to OpenUV, you have to manually request new data.

To do this, create an automation that periodically calls the service Home Assistant Core Integration: Update entity (homeassistant:update_entity).
