[pre-ANN] Meteostat.jl : A Julia front for the Meteostat weather data API

Package Announcements

Hello,

I just made public Meteostat.jl, a julia interface to the Meteostat weather data API. (Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the Meteostat organisation).

The registration to the official Julia registry is pending.

At the moment you can:

  • Query the weather stations available
  • Fetch data from the closest station to given coordinates
  • Read Hourly, Daily or Monthly data

It aims at feature parity with the python package down the road (with similar post-processing features and interpolations).

Happy to get feedback on the implementation: I come from python and I am still learning to apply multiple dispatch efficiently.

Thank you for sharing @captainoblivious. You need to use url="https..." in the installation instructions, otherwise it will throw an error.

A related package with all stations in Brazil is INMET.jl.

Suggestion: try to return Unitful.jl values if you can. That way users don’t need to read API docs to figure out the units.
