Hello,
I just made public [Meteostat.jl](https://github.com/ymiftah/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.
