I have the following error message every time I try to open a meteorological data file (loaded from the Copernicus program) using the plugin UMEP in QGIS. How can I fix it? I am a beginner in Python.

the meteo file is attached here, meteo.zip

You are trying to use a netCDF-file directly into UMEP. That is not possible. You should convert it into a text file and then run it through a MetDataProcessor OR download ERA5 data via the ERA5 Download tool in UMEP which will convert nc-files directly into UMEP-formatted meteorological files.
