Description Details References
weathercan
is an R package for simplifying the downloading of
Historical Climate Data from the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)
website (https://climate.weather.gc.ca)
Bear in mind that these downloads can be fairly large and performing repeated, large downloads may use up Environment Canada's bandwidth unnecessarily. Try to stick to what you need.
There are four main aspects of this package:
Access stations lists
stations
(a data frame listing stations)
stations_search()
identify stations by name or proximity to a
location
stations_dl()
re-download/update stations data
Download weather data
weather_dl()
Merge weather data into other data sets through interpolation over time
weather_interp()
Download climate normals data
normals_dl()
We also include several practice data sets:
finches
kamloops
kamloops_day
pg
As well as several vignettes:
General Usage: vignette("usage")
Merging and Interpolating: vignette("interpolation")
Flags and Codes: vignette("flags")
Weather Data Glossary: vignette("glossary")
Climate Normals Glossary: vignette("glossary_normals")
