The boonah dataset contains meteorological SILO data for the period 1 Jan 2019 to 31 May 2020 obtained from the Longpaddock Queensland Government DES web site https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au for Boonah which is located at -27.9927 S, 152.6906 E. The data is in APSIM format and contains temperature, rainfall, evaporation and radiation variables and the rows are consecutive days during the period. The weather data set was obtained using

boonah <-
   get_silodata(latitude = "-27.9927", longitude = "152.6906",
                email = "MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS", START = "20190101", FINISH = "20200531")

To obtain gridded data, which is what get_silodata assumes, you need to supply at least the site latitude and longitude as well as your email address by replacing MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS with your email address. The data is freely available under the Creative Commons 4.0 License. Note that SILO may be unavailable between 11am and 1pm (Brisbane time) each Wednesday and Thursday to allow for essential system maintenance. Also please note that, by default, apsim data are retrieved. Most, but not all, of the other formats are also available. See the help for get_silodata for details. You can obtain this help using ?cropgrowdays::get_silodata at the R Console prompt or using your favourite help system.
