Once you have your station_id(s) you can download
weather data:

Climate Normals
To access climate normals, you first need to know the
climate_id associated with the station you’re interested
in.
stations_search("Winnipeg", normals_years = "current")## # A tibble: 1 × 14
## prov station_name station_id climate_id WMO_id TC_id lat lon elev tz normals normals_1991_2020 normals_1981_2010 normals_1971_2000

Then you can download the climate normals with the
normals_dl() function.
n <- normals_dl("5023222")There are two parts to the normals data, average weather measurements and average frost dates.
