"""OpenMeteo Weather Forecast Collection
Collects weather forecasts from OpenMeteo API using ECMWF IFS 0.25° model.
Used for inference to extend weather time series into the future.
Model: ECMWF IFS 0.25° (Integrated Forecasting System)
- Resolution: 0.25° (~25 km, high resolution)
- Forecast horizon: 15 days (360 hours)
- Temporal resolution: Hourly
- Update frequency: Every 6 hours (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC)
- Free tier: Fully accessible since ECMWF October 2025 open data release
ECMWF provides higher quality forecasts than GFS, especially for Europe.
The October 2025 open data initiative made ECMWF IFS freely accessible via OpenMeteo.
This module fetches the LATEST 15-day forecast for all 51 grid points and saves to parquet.
The forecast extends existing weather features (375) into future timestamps.
