🎉WxData 1.5 Released🎉

Lots of new clients and improvements in WxData 1.5. Please see the release notes for more information because it is too much to type here. The short is, the USDA FEMS database is not user-friendly to work with and the new clients in WxData are resilient FEMS. [1/n]

🎉WxData 1.2 Released🎉

NOAA recently made the AIGFS & AIGEFS operational and the data publicly available. Users can conda/pip install WxData 1.2 and have an easy time downloading, pre-processing and post-processing AIGFS and AIGEFS data.

🎉WxData 2.0 Released🎉

WxData 2.0 has some very exciting new features!

TLDR: Many GRIB clients now use byte-range requests so users can filter variables prior to downloading on cloud servers. Clients can now rotate with AWS and Google Cloud servers. #python #weather #data #wxsky
May 18, 2026 at 3:35 AM
Wow! WxData has surpassed 1,000 downloads on PIP (PYPI) in the first 2 weeks after release! This is even a faster takeoff than FireWxPy in October 2024. Definitely a promising sign early on for potential package popularity. #python #wxdata #dataengineering #datascience #weather #meteorology

🎉WxData 1.7 Released🎉

🧵GRIB files are large! Has anyone ever wanted to be able to subset GRIB files when the data server has no GRIB filter present?

Well if so, you're in luck! A new raw data client for byte-range requests is the WxData 1.7 update (now available on conda-forge and pypi). #python

🎉WxData 1.2.6 Released🎉

As I am building FireWxPy 2.0 (WxData will be the backend of FireWxPy >= 2.0), I found some bugs and areas for improvement. See patch notes below for information regarding the latest bug-fixes and improvements in the WxData 1.2.6 patch. #python #weather #data

A new Jupyter Lab Tutorial dropped with WxData 1.0.5: How to use WxData to run external Python scripts in your workflow.

In this example, I download the temperature fields of the GFS0P25 and then post-processes the data in an external script.

My former meteorology professor who teaches the meteorology department's computer programming course replied saying he will try out WxData. Always love sharing works of mine with former teachers and professors!

I am aware of other packages that retrieve METAR data (you can also retrieve METAR data with WxData). However, in WxData users will be able to retrieve the weather observations, fuels observations, weather forecast and NFDRS fuels forecast for all the RAWS stations. [3/3].

Here is a Jupyter Lab Tutorial where we use WxData to download the ECMWF IFS 500mb Geopotential Height Initial Analysis, then use the cyclic_point() tool to resolve the 180 meridian and then plot a polar stereographic of this data. #python #data #weather

Since I was just working on the ECMWF module for my upcoming WxData Python package, I figured I'd also practice downloading the ECMWF AIFS files in C#. Google tutorials were heavily used since I first touched C# 3 days ago. #ComputerScience #Meteorology

Learning how to develop a command line interface. I plan on developing a CLI for the WxData clients and processors so people can incorporate WxData into shell scripting.
