Precipitation missing data using the python library

[m4zette]

Hi,
First of all thank you for this wonderful library.
However, I encountered a small problem: for some locations (for example Trignac in France on December 24, 2020) I get missing values in the precipitation column using the python library while all the data is available in the web application.

Is it a bug or am I misunderstanding something ?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks 🙂

Do you mind sharing your code?

Yes I've made this:

# Import Meteostat library and dependencies
from datetime import datetime
from meteostat import Point, Hourly

# Set time period
start = datetime(2020, 12, 24)
end = datetime(2020, 12, 25)

# Create Point Trignac
point = Point(47.3178, -2.1892, 6)

# Get hourly data
data = Hourly(point, start, end).fetch()

The Meteostat JSON API uses a different Point.radius. You can try increasing the radius, e.g:

Point.radius = 120000

Great that works perfectly.
Thanks for the reactive support ;)
