What is Meteostat?
Meteostat is a comprehensive weather and climate database that offers detailed meteorological data for thousands of weather stations and locations across the globe. It enables users to access historical weather records, including yesterday's temperatures or data from hundreds of years ago, supporting applications in research, education, and product development.
The platform provides open weather and climate data through an open data policy, making it a valuable resource for developers to integrate into their products, applications, and workflows. Meteostat is powered by data from sources like NOAA, Deutscher Wetterdienst, and Environment Canada, and it encourages community support through donations to democratize meteorological data and aid educational and research initiatives.
