weather {VFS}

Ten years of daily weather data

Description

The VFS offers the capability of importing weather data from the GHCN, either from local files or the online repository, but this import is slow, so the result of the import is saved as an R object for those examples that need it.

The original GHCN file has many more columns.

Usage

data("weather")
