Hourly Data

This endpoint provides one Parquet file per year. The provided data is aggregated from historical databases, METAR reports and SYNOP data.

Beta

This interface is currently in beta. We are actively working on improving it and adding new features. The formats and data structures may change in the future. We recommend checking back regularly for updates and improvements.

Endpoints

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

https://data.meteostat.net/hourly/{year}.parquet

Please replace {year} with the desired year number.

Structure

Parquet files use a columnar storage format. The columns correspond to the parameter codes described here.

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

Geographical Coordinates

The Parquet files only contain the station ID, but not the geographical coordinates. To retrieve the coordinates, please download the weather station database and join it based on the station ID.

Data Sources

Each data column has a corresponding source column with the _source suffix.
