Update internal databases with latest BOM station metadata
Source:R/update_station_locations.R
update_station_locations.Rd
Download the latest station locations and metadata and update internal
databases that support the use of get_current_weather
get_ag_bulletin
and get_historical_weather
.
There is no need to use this unless you know that a station exists in
BOM's database that is not available in the databases distributed
with bomrang. In fact, for reproducibility purposes, users are
discouraged from using this function.
Details
If ASGS.foyer is installed locally, this function will automatically check and correct any invalid state values for stations located in Australia. If ASGS.foyer is not installed, the function will update the internal database without validating the state values for stations by reported longitude/latitude location.

Meteorology (BOM) webpage, Bureau of Meteorology Site Numbers:
