A key component of any technical computing workflow is access to data, and MATLAB has been designed to support data retrieval from as many sources as possible. Martin has leveraged some of this infrastructure along with Meteomatics' API to quickly pull weather data into MATLAB. And once in MATLAB, the data can be analyzed and visualized to your heart's content.\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe File Exchange contribution provides functions and examples of collecting weather data. There's a Live Editor script that demonstrates usage of three query functions for time series, grid, and satellite image data. I mostly played with the time series data example, which I used to compare temperature forecasts between my current and former cities of residence. California isn't quite as cold at the moment.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/pick\/files\/meteomatics_maryland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/pick\/files\/meteomatics_maryland-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14437\" \/><\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/pick\/files\/meteomatics_california.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/pick\/files\/meteomatics_california-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14434\" \/><\/a>\r\n<br><br>\r\nTemperature and dew point are but two of hundreds of variables you can access.
