ausweather 0.2.1

Access historical weather data in Australia

ausweather

Very very very alpha - built for daily/monthly/annual rainfall initially.

Download weather data from BoM via SILO, for now.

E.g. for Kent Town annual rainfall. Find the station number using the BoM Weather Station Directory:

>>> import ausweather
>>> data = ausweather.fetch_bom_station_from_silo(23090, '[e-mail]')
station #: 23090 name: ADELAIDE (KENT TOWN) title: 23090 ADELAIDE (KENT TOWN) (fetched from SILO on 2020-03-04 16:23:26.395696)
>>> data.keys()
dict_keys(['silo_returned', 'station_no', 'station_name', 'title', 'df', 'annual', 'srn'])

>>> data['df'].info()
