Daily weather observations from multiple Australian weather stations.
Description
Daily weather observations from multiple locations around Australia,
obtained from the Australian Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology and
processed to create this realtively large sample dataset for
illustrating analytics, data mining, and data science using R and
Rattle.
The data has been processed to provide a target variable
RainTomorrow (whether there is rain on the following day -
No/Yes) and a risk variable RISK_MM (how much rain recorded in
millimeters). Various transformations are performed on the data.
The weatherAUS dataset is regularly updated an updates of this
package usually correspond to updates to this dataset. The data is
updated from the Bureau of Meteorology web site.
The locationsAUS dataset records the location of each weather
station.
The source dataset comes from the Australian Commonwealth Bureau of
Meteorology. The Bureau provided permission to use the data with the
Bureau of Meteorology acknowledged as the source of the data, as per
email from Cathy Toby (C.Toby@bom.gov.au) of the Climate Information
Services of the National CLimate Centre, 17 Dec 2008.
A CSV version of this dataset is available as
https://rattle.togaware.com/weatherAUS.csv.
Usage
weatherAUS
Format
The weatherAUS dataset is a data frame containing over 140,000
daily observations from over 45 Australian weather stations.
DateThe date of observation (a Date object).
LocationThe common name of the location of the
weather station.
MinTempThe minimum temperature in degrees celsius.
MaxTempThe maximum temperature in degrees celsius.
RainfallThe amount of rainfall recorded for the day in mm.
EvaporationThe so-called Class A pan evaporation (mm)
in the 24 hours to 9am.
SunshineThe number of hours of bright sunshine in the day.
WindGustDirThe direction of the strongest wind gust
in the 24 hours to midnight.
WindGustSpeedThe speed (km/h) of the strongest wind
gust in the 24 hours to midnight.
Temp9am Temperature (degrees C) at 9am.
RelHumid9am Relative humidity (percent) at 9am.
Cloud9am Fraction of sky obscured by cloud at
9am. This is measured in "oktas", which are a unit of eigths. It
records how many eigths of the sky are obscured by cloud. A 0
measure indicates completely clear sky whilst an 8 indicates that
it is completely overcast.
WindSpeed9am-
Wind speed (km/hr) averaged over 10 minutes prior to 9am.
Pressure9am-
Atmospheric pressure (hpa) reduced to mean sea level at 9am.
Temp3pm Temperature (degrees C) at 3pm.
RelHumid3pm Relative humidity (percent) at 3pm.
Cloud3pm-
Fraction of sky obscured by cloud (in "oktas": eighths) at
3pm. See Cload9am for a description of the values.
WindSpeed3pm-
Wind speed (km/hr) averaged over 10 minutes prior to 3pm.
Pressure3pm-
Atmospheric pressure (hpa) reduced to mean sea level at 3pm.
ChangeTemp-
Change in temperature.
ChangeTempDir-
Direction of change in temperature.
ChangeTempMag-
Magnitude of change in temperature.
ChangeWindDirect-
Direction of wind change.
MaxWindPeriod-
Period of maximum wind.
RainToday-
Integer: 1 if precipitation (mm) in the 24 hours to 9am exceeds
1mm, otherwise 0.
TempRange-
Difference between minimum and maximum temperatures (degrees C) in
the 24 hours to 9am.
PressureChange-
Change in pressure.
RISK_MM-
The amount of rain. A kind of measure of the "risk".
RainTomorrow-
The target variable. Did it rain tomorrow?
