---------------

**EEweather** — tools for matching to and fetching data from NCEI ISD, TMY3, or CZ2010 weather stations.

EEweather comes with a database of weather station metadata, ZCTA metadata, and GIS data that makes it easier to find the right weather station to use for a particular ZIP code or lat/long coordinate.

`Read the docs. `_

Installation
------------

EEweather is a python package and can be installed with pip.

::

    $ pip install eeweather
