PyMeteoclimatic

A Python wrapper around the Meteoclimatic service.

PyMeteoclimatic is a client Python wrapper library for Meteoclimatic. Meteoclimatic is a large network of non-professional automatic real-time weather stations and an important directory of weather resources. The geographical scope of Meteoclimatic comprises the Iberian Peninsula, the two Spanish archipelagos (the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands), southern France and Africa near the Strait of Gibraltar.

PyMeteoclimatic relies on the Meteoclimatic RSS feed. More specifically, PyMeteoclimatic leverages the coded, normalized data blocks included as HTML comments in the feeds between the [[<BEGIN:identificador:DATA>]] and [[<END:identificador:DATA>]] tags to obtain station weather information.

What data can I get?

With PyMeteoclimatic you can obtain weather information directly from Meteoclimatic stations identified by their code. You can find out the station code from the station profile page in the Meteoclimatic site.

When obtaining the weather information from a station, you will get a meteoclimatic.Observation object, which represents the weather which is currently being observed from a certain station and contains the following fields.

A meteoclimatic.Station object contains the following data.

A meteoclimatic.Weather object contains the following data. Note that not all stations have the same physical sensors and capabilities (e.g. pluviometer, barometer, ...), therefore, some of these values may be None for some stations. Check the Meteoclimatic station page for more information on your preferred station capabilities.

Installation

Install with pip for your ease.

$ pip install pymeteoclimatic

Example

from meteoclimatic import MeteoclimaticClient

client = MeteoclimaticClient()
observation = client.weather_at_station("ESCAT4300000043206B")

print("Timestamp")
print("~~~~~~~~~")
print(observation.reception_time)
print()
print("Station")
print("~~~~~~~")
print(observation.station)
print()
print("Weather")
print("~~~~~~~")
print(observation.weather)

Output:

Timestamp
