Getting data for a list of N closest stations

[antjefitzner]

Hi,

I want to get a list of the x nearest stations (and not just the closest). How can I do this? It seems in the command line this is possible, but I am using the library. Am I missing it or is it not possible yet?

Just some context: I want to get the e.g. 3 closest stations that have data for e.g. wind speed around a given point.

TIA
Antje

Dear Antje,

thanks for writing in. Your request sounds familiar. See also #3, #14 and #16 which might help you along. Please let me know about the outcome for you.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

my colleague actually looked it up in your code. Adding "surrounding" worked like:

closest_stations = dwd.nearest_station(lon=longitude, lat=latitude, surrounding=radius)

Dear Antje,

thanks! I also would like to note that Wetterdienst also provides this feature through both earthobservations/wetterdienst#23 and earthobservations/wetterdienst#99.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
