bvhest/KNMIr: functions for retrieving historic climate data and the six-day forecast from the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI

This package provides functions to retrieve raw and processed climate data from the official Dutch meteorological institute (KNMI). For some stations data goes back to 1900. Two functions are provied to retrieve the 6-day weather forecast from the KNMI and the 14-day forecast from the Weerplaza-website. With helper-functions, the data can be subsetted based on year and specified variables. The returned data is converted to SI-units, when necessary. Several additional helper functions are available, such as a function that calculates the Huglin- or VE-index. The package also contains two KNMI datasets; one with all land- and sea-based measurement stations and one with long term averages from 2000-2015.
