The submission is correct. The KNMI provides a large variety of weather information as open data at the KNMI datacentre: https://data.knmi.nl/datasets. These open data include observational data (24h precipitation, near-realtime precipitation updates, evaporation, historical temperature data from 1961 until today , available in bulk). This data is downloadable in xml, has metadata accompanying the underlying calculation models, etc. However, the datacentre does not provide forecast data for all required characteristics. The submission therefore refers to the minimum available forecast data, accessible at: https://www.knmi.nl/nederland-nu/weer/verwachtingen. This data is available in HTML, cannot be downloaded, but can be reused for any purpose (openly licensed under CC0 license, see: https://www.knmi.nl/copyright).
