Nearby Stations

To find weather stations near a specific geographical point, you can use the nearby method. This method allows you to specify a location using latitude & longitude, and it returns a list of nearby weather stations sorted by distance.

🚀 Example​

import meteostat as ms

POINT = ms.Point(50.1155, 8.6842, 113)  # Try with your location

# Get nearby weather stations
stations = ms.stations.nearby(POINT, limit=4)

print(stations)

This is the output you would get:
