What's New?

Improvements

1. Cleaned up the METAR data by converting all the variables in the Pandas.DataFrame from string to their respective data type. Also got rid of the '+' in the visibility Pandas.DataFrame to make the data useable in Python.

2. Added u and v wind components to the METAR data to make station plotting easier.

3. Added relative humidity to the METAR data.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed the u and v wind component calculation for the observed sounding data.

What's New?

Nothing at this time

Improvements

1. Changed the default argument of clear_recycle_bin=True to clear_recycle_bin=False due to feedback that most users probably do not want this. I did not want to remove clear_recycle_bin given some users may still want to keep it. From now on, manually set clear_recycle_bin=True to clear recycle/trash bin with each run of a script that uses the WxData clients.

Bug Fixes

1. None at this time.

Bug Fixes

1. Added exception handling with error message and instructions for compatibility issues between the pip version of the eccodes library with Python 3.14.

       Methods to fix eccodes compatibility with Python 3.14:
      
      1) Uninstall the pip version of WxData and install WxData via Anaconda
         
         ***Steps For Method 1***
         1) pip uninstall wxdata
         2) conda install wxdata
         
      2) If the user is unable to use Anaconda as a package manager, the user must set up a new Python environment with the following specifications:
      
        ***Specifications***
        
        Python >= 3.10 and Python <= 3.13
        
        Python 3.10 is compatible.
        Python 3.11 is compatible.
        Python 3.12 is compatible.
        Python 3.13 is compatible
        
        Then pip install wxdata after the new Python environment is set up. 
   

2. Fixed the typo in month for the string for the xmACIS2 data client.
