A quick script to get historic weather data from the Norwegian meteorological institute on a given date or date range for the last decade, and present it as a graph.
Default weather type to analyse is temperature, but tailored options are available for wind speed and snow depth, and arbirary data types from frost.met.no can be queeried.
Can graph data from any weather station in Norway. See yr_context -h for all options.
Example output:
$ python yr_context.py --location røros --day 18 --month 11 --num_days 2
$ python yr_context.py --location høvringen --day 31 --month 12 --num_days 15
Uses data from https://frost.met.no/
Requires a free client-id from frost.met.no to function. Request this at https://frost.met.no/auth/requestCredentials.html
Place the client-id in a file called client_id.txt in this directory.
Not all data types are available for all weather stations or dates. The script will run but may produce a graph with no or limited data. See print output for which dates recieved zero data for your request.
