Wetterdienst - Open weather data for humans
Introduction
Welcome to Wetterdienst, your friendly weather service library for Python.
We are a group of like-minded people trying to make access to weather data in Python feel like a warm summer breeze, similar to other projects like rdwd for the R language, which originally drew our interest in this project.
While our long-term goal is to provide access to multiple weather services, we are still stuck with the German Weather Service (DWD). Contributions are always welcome!
This program and its repository tries to use modern Python technologies all over the place. The library is based on Pandas across the board, uses Poetry for package administration and GitHub Actions for all things CI.
Features
Coverage
The library currently covers
Weather observation data. Both historical and recent.
Radar data. All of composite, radolan, radvor, sites and radolan_cdc.
MOSMIX statistical optimized scalar forecasts extracted from weather models. Both MOSMIX-L and MOSMIX-S is supported.
To get better insight on which data we have currently made available, with this library take a look at data coverage.
Details
Get metadata for a set of Parameter, PeriodType and TimeResolution.
Get station(s) nearby a selected location.
Command line interface.
Run SQL queries on the results.
Export results to databases and other data sinks.
Public Docker image.
Setup
Run this to make wetterdienst available in your current environment:
pip install wetterdienstSynopsis
Get historical data for specific stations, using Python:
>>> from wetterdienst.dwd.observations import (
... DWDObservationData,
... DWDObservationParameterSet,
... DWDObservationPeriod,
... DWDObservationResolution
... )
>>> observations = DWDObservationData(
... station_ids=[1048,4411],
... parameters=[DWDObservationParameterSet.CLIMATE_SUMMARY,
... DWDObservationParameterSet.SOLAR],
... resolution=DWDObservationResolution.DAILY,
... start_date="1990-01-01",
... end_date="2020-01-01",
... tidy_data=True,
... humanize_parameters=True,
... )
>>> df = observations.all()Get data for specific stations from the command line:
# Get list of all stations for daily climate summary data in JSON format
wetterdienst stations --parameter=kl --resolution=daily --period=recent
# Get daily climate summary data for specific stations
wetterdienst readings --station=1048,4411 --parameter=kl --resolution=daily --period=recentDocumentation
We strongly recommend reading the full documentation, which will be updated continuously as we make progress with this library:
For the whole functionality, check out the Wetterdienst API section of our documentation, which will be constantly updated. To stay up to date with the development, take a look at the changelog. Also, don’t miss out our examples.
