Hourly Data

This endpoint provides one GZ compressed CSV file per weather station. The provided data is being aggregated from historical databases, METAR reports and SYNOP data.

Endpoints

Full data dumps, including model data as substitute for missing observations, are available here:

https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/hourly/{station}.csv.gz

Annual dumps are available, too:

https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/hourly/{year}/{station}.csv.gz

Please replace {year} with the desired year number and {station} with the ID of a weather station.

Structure

CSV files provided through the Meteostat bulk data interface use commas as separators. Each file provides the following columns:

Order	Parameter	Description	Type
1	date	The date string (format: YYYY-MM-DD)	String
2	hour	The hour (UTC)	Integer
3	temp	The air temperature in °C	Float
4	dwpt	The dew point in °C	Float
5	rhum	The relative humidity in percent (%)	Integer
6	prcp	The one hour precipitation total in mm	Float
7	snow	The snow depth in mm	Integer
8	wdir	The wind direction in degrees (°)	Integer
9	wspd	The average wind speed in km/h	Float
10	wpgt	The peak wind gust in km/h	Float
11	pres	The sea-level air pressure in hPa	Float
12	tsun	The one hour sunshine total in minutes (m)	Integer
13	coco	The weather condition code	Integer

More information on the data formats and weather condition codes is available here.

Source Maps

Each dump has a .map file associated with it. These source map files are equally structured as the dumps themselves. However, instead of numerical data, they contain flags which identify the original source of an observation or aggregation.

To request a station's map file, use the following URL:

https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/hourly/{station}.map.csv.gz

Please replace {station} with the ID of a weather station.

Flags

Please refer to the following table for the meaning of the different flags:

Flag	Source
A	National weather service
B	Global dataset (ISD)
C	SYNOP reports
D	METAR reports
E	Model data (MOSMIX, Met.no)

If the data source is a national weather service (NWS), it refers to the NWS which operates the respective weather station.
