meteopendata2netcdf
Leverages open-data weather information via the NetCDF interface.
Download ECMWF IFS open-data surface forecasts (temperature, wind, humidity) via ecmwf-opendata and export them to NetCDF.
Uses HTTP Byte-Range requests: only the bytes corresponding to the requested parameters and forecast steps are transferred, not the full GRIB2 files.
Installation
pip install meteopendata2netcdf
[!NOTE] eccodes must be installed on your system (required by cfgrib):
apt-get install libeccodes-devon Linux ·brew install eccodeson macOS · bundled in the cfgrib wheel on Windows.

print(result.dataset)
# CLI
meteopendata2netcdf --output ./data/ifs --netcdf ifs_surface.nc
meteopendata2netcdf --source aws --time 0 --log-level DEBUG
