This plugin retrieves meteorological data from the measurement network managed by MeteoSwiss. You can have a look at the Automatic Weather Stations that are available and get information for each station on the Measuring Networks page.

Format

This plugin reads meteorological data from the MeteoSwiss OGC STAC API via HTTP GET requests. To compile the plugin you need to have the CURL library with its headers present.

The station metadata (coordinates, names, etc.) is retrieved from a CSV file at https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.meteoschweiz.ogd-smn/ogd-smn_meta_stations.csv.
