The channels are the same for all forecasts, but the daily forecast provides some additional aggregated values.
For the other daily forecast channels, the values are for 12:00 UTC.
+The complete channel identifier is the channel group id (`hour_<offset>` or `day_<offset>`, where offset is 0 for the current hour/day
+or the number of hours/days from now) + the channel id, concatenated with a `#`.
+
+Examples:
+* Temperature for the current hour: `hour_0#t`
+* Total precipitation 3 days from now: `day_3#ptotal`
