Additional forecast JSON properties e.g. WBGT, apparent temp, wet bulb temp, wave height, tide #662

WBGT is available if populated by local weather forecast offices, but not yet available everywhere. National Ocean Service provides tides data in their web services: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/web_services_info.html |

Just bumping the request for nationwide WBGT data, or at least in the regions where heat is the most dangerous. I'm designing a heat safety app to popularize & explain WBGT to the general public. Trying to go live before another dangerous summer starts. Without WBGT data from the NWS, I've only found less-reliable, privately generated WBGT data feeds. Thanks y'all! |

Feature Request: Some additional weather data in forecast calls
Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a specialized measurement I'd like to utilize but I don't see it being returned in forecast calls. I do see that some map layers may or may not return WBGT but no json api returns WBGT that I have found.
Wet Bulb (WB) Temp and apparent temp would also be helpful. These can be approximated or calculated but would be good to have in a standardized form from NWS.
Finally, marine data e.g. tides, waves etc would be quite useful. I realize there is another thread specifically about maritime data but I thought I'd add this here too.
Thanks
