Rust parser for NOAA weather data

weathernoaa

API wrapper over NOAA's observatory data to find weather information. For finding the weather information, you need to know the name of the station code which can be obtained from here. In general, figuring out station IDs is harder. These are the various resources I usually use (if you find any source, please send a PR):

• Archive.org's NOAA reference list showing identification numbers and information for each station in the Federal Climate Complex ISD
• Station list
• METAR Observation Station Identifiers
• India METAR Station ID

You can find all the supported station id here. Alternatively, you can also use the executable in the repository to confirm that it works:

❯ cargo run --bin noaa info --station-id VOBL
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.05s
     Running `target/debug/noaa info --station-id VOBL`
WeatherInfo {
    station: None,
    weather_time: WeatherTime {
        year: 2023,
        month: 12,
        day: 30,
        time: "1330 UTC",
    },
    wind: WindInfo {
        cardinal: "E",
        azimuth: "080",
        mph: "9",
        knots: "8",
    },
    visibility: "greater than 7 mile(s):0",
    sky_condition: "mostly clear",
    weather: None,
    temperature: Temperature {
        celsius: 23,
        fahrenheit: 73,
    },
    dewpoint: Temperature {
        celsius: 14,
        fahrenheit: 57,
    },
    relative_humidity: "56%",
    pressure: 1017,
}

API Usage

use anyhow::Result;
use weathernoaa::weather::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let result = get_weather("VOBL".into()).await?;
    println!("{:#?}", result);
    Ok(())
}

Running it will give this:

WeatherInfo {
 station: None,
  weather_time:
   WeatherTime {
    year: 2021,
    month: 5,
    day: 16,
    time: "1200 UTC",
   },
  wind:
   WindInfo {
    cardinal: "SSW",
    azimuth: "210",
    mph: "10",
    knots: "9",
   },
  visibility: "4 mile(s):0",
  sky_condition: "partly cloudy",
  weather: Some("light drizzle"),
  temperature: Temperature {
    celsius: 26,
    fahrenheit: 78,
  },
  dewpoint: Temperature {
    celsius: 19,
    fahrenheit: 66,
  },
  relative_humidity: "65%",
  pressure: 1010,
};
