Historical data can be downloaded directly using the package {openmeteo} from Open-Meteo API, since it has the ability to take the following daily variables.

Variable Unit Description
weather_code WMO code The most severe weather condition on a given day
temperature_2m_max temperature_2m_min °C (°F) Maximum & Minimum daily air temperature at 2 meters above ground
apparent_temperature_max apparent_temperature_min °C (°F) Maximum & Minimum daily apparent temperature
precipitation_sum mm Sum of daily precipitation (including rain, showers and snowfall)
rain_sum mm Sum of daily rain
snowfall_sum cm Sum of daily snowfall
precipitation_hours hours The number of hours with rain
sunrise sunset iso8601 Sun rise & Sun set times
sunshine_duration seconds The number of seconds of sunshine per day is determined by calculating direct normalized irradiance exceeding 120 W/m², following the WMO definition. Sunshine duration will consistently be less than daylight duration due to dawn and dusk.
daylight_duration seconds Number of seconds of daylight per day
wind_speed_10m_max wind_gusts_10m_max km/h (mph, m/s, knots) Maximum wind speed and gusts on a day
wind_direction_10m_dominant ° Dominant wind direction
shortwave_radiation_sum MJ/m² The sum of solar radiaion on a given day in Megajoules
et0_fao_evapotranspiration mm Daily sum of ET₀ Reference Evapotranspiration of a well watered grass field
Let’s look at the tabular data

Now let’s take a closer look at the details of the data set.:

Let’s consider the location of a geographic object
