Weather Stations

A weather station is a location where meteorological data is measured. Most countries operate public weather station networks in order to monitor weather and climate. This repository provides a list of public weather stations everyone can contribute to. The data is maintained by Meteostat.

You can download the list of weather stations, including Meteostat inventory data, in JSON format:

Additional information about the Meteostat bulk data interface is available in the documentation.

Data Structure

The stations directory contains one JSON file per weather station. The files are named after the station's Meteostat ID and hold one JSON object which describes the respective weather station.

Properties

Each weather station must provide the following properties. Missing values are defined as null. The following properties are mandatory and must be present in a station file. Additional properties, like all entries under identifiers, are optional and should only be included if set.

  • id: Meteostat ID (String)
  • name: Name in different languages (Object)
  • country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, e.g. CA for Canada (String)
  • region: ISO 3166-2 state or region code, e.g. TX for Texas (String)
  • identifiers: Identifiers (Object)
  • location: Geographic location (Object)
    • latitude: Latitude (Float)
    • longitude: Longitude (Float)
    • elevation: Elevation in meters (Integer)
  • timezone: Time zone (String)

Formatting

  • All files in the stations directory are named after the station's Meteostat ID.
  • Names of weather stations are capitalized.
  • Use short and descriptive names for a weather station.
  • Many weather stations are located at aerodromes. When naming weather stations please refer to aerodromes, which involve air cargo or passengers, as airports and use the term airfield if they don't.

Contributing

If you want to add a new weather station, update some information or correct an error, please either correct/update the affected file(s) & create a pull request or fill an issue & describe your concern. We will review each request and update the list accordingly. Once your changes are merged into the master branch they will be visible in all Meteostat products within a few days.
