Daily climate observations from Germany’s national weather service, the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) Climate Data Center: temperature, precipitation, sunshine, snow depth, wind, humidity, pressure and cloud cover for ~1,400 current and closed stations, with DWD quality flags, from each station’s first record (some back to the 1800s) up to yesterday.

Tools

• dwd_stations(name? | lat+lon, active_only?, limit?) — find stations by name (umlauts optional) or nearest to a coordinate; returns station id, federal state, elevation, coordinates and the first/last observation date.
• dwd_daily(station_id, from?, to?) — per-day observations for one station over a date range (max 1000 days per call, next_from when truncated), with units and quality levels.
• dwd_latest(station_id) — the most recent daily observation for one station, usually yesterday.

Every response carries source, attribution and data_as_of (the Last-Modified time of the upstream file that answered). A station number that does not exist, a name that matches nothing, or a range with no observations returns found: false with data_as_of, never an empty array. Upstream failures throw.

Data source

• Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) Climate Data Center — daily climate observations (KL) for German stations, in two archives: the daily-updated recent archive (roughly the last 500 days) and the quality-controlled historical archive (from each station’s first record to the close of the last full year), plus DWD’s station description list.

Each call reads only the one station’s data it needs, live. Where a range spans both archives, the historical (quality-controlled) value wins for any day both cover; archives_read says which archive(s) answered.

Field notes

• Station ids are 5-digit zero-padded; the tools accept them with or without leading zeros.
• -999 upstream = missing, returned as null. QN_3 is the quality level for the wind columns (FX, FM), QN_4 for everything else.
• RSKF (precipitation form) is a code: 0 none, 1 rain, 4 unknown form, 6 rain, 7 snow, 8 rain and snow, 9 missing.
• Many automatic stations report no sunshine duration (SDK); null there is upstream, not a parse failure.
