Add lon and lat to each city in site list #31

Closed radzhome closed 2 months ago

radzhome commented 2 years ago

https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/siteList.xml

this page only has the city name /province but would you be able to include the lon/lat? This would help so dont have to pull each weather city page for the lon/lat.

Also seems the lon/lat is not that precise, would be possible to expose more decimals?

You will find this information here:

https://dd.meteo.gc.ca/citypage_weather/docs/site_list_towns_en.csv

See also, the GeoJSON list: https://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmos/public_doc/msc-data/citypage-weather/site_list_en.geojson

Hope it helps

This is great thanks for sharing but is there any reason why NOT to include that on siteList.xml (the two additional data points)?

Good question, I will investigate if we still need several stations lists and come back to you ...Thanks for your patience.

In the context of the MSC transformation, no more work will be done on citypage_weather, see the announcement:

Thanks for your interest in our data and services.

I close this issue.
