meteospain

R-CMD-check CRAN-status CRAN-RStudio-mirror-downloads

meteospain aims to offer access to different Spanish meteorological stations data in an uniform way.

Installation

meteospain is in CRAN, and can be installed as any other package:

install.packages('meteospain')

Also, meteospain is in active development. You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("emf-creaf/meteospain")

Services

The following meteorological stations services are available:

Examples

Access to the services is done with the get_meteo_from function, providing the name of the service and the options. Each service has a dedicated *service*_options() function to guide through the specifics of each service:

library(meteospain)

mg_options <- meteogalicia_options(resolution = 'current_day')
get_meteo_from('meteogalicia', mg_options)

Returned objects are spatial objects (using the sf R package), so results can be plotted directly:

mg_options <- meteogalicia_options(resolution = 'daily', start_date = as.Date('2021-04-25'))

plot(get_stations_info_from('meteogalicia', mg_options))

API keys

Some services, like AEMET or Meteocat, require an API key to access the data. meteospain doesn’t provide any key for those services, see ?services_options for information about this.

Once a key has been obtained, we can get the meteo:

get_meteo_from('aemet', aemet_options(api_key = keyring::key_get("aemet")))
