Get current weather observations of a BOM station
Source:R/get_current_weather.R
get_current_weather.RdGet current weather observations of a BOM station
get_current_weather( station_name, strict = FALSE, latlon = NULL, emit_latlon_msg = TRUE )
Arguments
| station_name | The name of the weather station. Fuzzy string matching
via |
|---|---|
| strict | (logical) If |
| latlon | A length-2 numeric vector giving the decimal degree
latitude and longitude (in that order), e.g., |
| emit_latlon_msg | Logical. If |
Value
A bomrang_tbl object (extension of a
data.frame) of requested BOM station's current and prior
72hr data. For full details of fields and units returned, see Appendix 1
in the bomrang vignette, use
vignette("bomrang", package = "bomrang") to view.
Details
Station names are not consistently named within the Bureau, so
the response may contain a different full_name to the one
matched, even if strict = TRUE. For example,
get_current_weather("CASTLEMAINE PRISON")[["full_name"]][1]
is Castlemaine, not Castlemaine Prison.
Note that the column local_date_time_full is set to a
POSIXct object in the local time of the user.
For more details see “Appendix 1 - Output from get_current_weather()”
in the bomrang vignette
vignette("bomrang", package = "bomrang")
for a complete list of fields and units.
