climateR offers 3 functions that enable the user to call for data from the MetaWeather API:

• get_weather(cities, continent): Maps the weather state of given cities (all from same continent) on the current date.

• sunrise(city): Gets sunrise and sunset time as well as the total day time of a particular city on the current date.

• getpastinfo(city_name, date): Gets minimum temperature, maximum temperatures, average wind speed, and average humidity of a particular city on a given date.

You can install climateR from Github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("UBC-MDS/climateR")
