SwissMetNet

SwissMetNet, the automatic monitoring network of MeteoSwiss, comprises about 160 automatic monitoring stations. These stations deliver a multitude of current data on the weather and climate in Switzerland every ten minutes. The monitoring network is supplemented by 140 automatic precipitation stations. Together, these 300 stations form the basis for the creation of reliable local weather forecasts as well as severe weather and flood warnings.

The current measurements are available at opendata.swiss:

At the hackdays we also have almost 12 months of aggregated readings in JSON format. Example reading:

@eraschle thanks for remining me about this data source. Let us know if you can make sense of it.

Confirmed, this dataset is still available. Additionally I will be bringing some scraped timeseries to the 2020 Hackday if anyone wants to work on this.

Are there any roadblocks to making historical timeseries available as open data?
