Walter & Lieth climatic diagram for a time period

Description

Plot a Walter & Lieth climatic diagram from monthly climatology values for a station. This climatogram is a great way to show a summary of climate conditions for a place over a specific time period.

Usage

climatogram_period(
  station = NULL,
  start = 1990,
  end = 2020,
  labels = "en",
  verbose = FALSE,
  ggplot2 = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

station	Character string with station identifier code(s). See aemet_stations().
start	Numeric value with the start year (format: YYYY).
end	Numeric value with the end year (format: YYYY).
labels	Character string with month labels for the x-axis: "en" (English), "es" (Spanish), "fr" (French), etc.
verbose	Logical. If TRUE, provides information about the flow of information between the client and server.
ggplot2	Logical. If TRUE, the function uses ggclimat_walter_lieth(). If FALSE, it uses climatol::diagwl().
...	Further arguments passed to climatol::diagwl() or ggclimat_walter_lieth(), depending on the value of ggplot2.

Value

A plot.

API key

You need to set your API key globally using aemet_api_key(). Query timeout can be controlled with options(climaemet_timeout = 60) (default value). See httr2::req_timeout() for details.

Note

The code is based on code from the CRAN package climatol.
