Project description

https://travis-ci.org/openeemeter/eeweather.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/github/license/openeemeter/eeweather.svg https://readthedocs.org/projects/eeweather/badge/?version=latest https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/eeweather.svg https://codecov.io/gh/openeemeter/eeweather/branch/master/graph/badge.svg

EEweather — tools for matching to and fetching data from NCDC ISD, TMY3, or CZ2010 weather stations.

EEweather comes with a database of weather station metadata, ZCTA metadata, and GIS data that makes it easier to find the right weather station to use for a particular ZIP code or lat/long coordinate.

Read the docs.
