Daily climate observations from Germany’s national weather service, the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) Climate Data Center: temperature, precipitation, sunshine, snow depth, wind, humidity, pressure and cloud cover for ~1,400 current and closed stations, with DWD quality flags, from each station’s first record (some back to the 1800s) up to yesterday.

Tools

• dwd_stations(name? | lat+lon, active_only?, limit?) — find stations by name (umlauts optional) or nearest to a coordinate; returns station id, federal state, elevation, coordinates and the first/last observation date.
• dwd_daily(station_id, from?, to?) — per-day observations for one station over a date range (max 1000 days per call, next_from when truncated), with units and quality levels.
• dwd_latest(station_id) — the most recent daily observation for one station, usually yesterday.

Every response carries source, attribution and data_as_of (the Last-Modified time of the upstream file that answered). A station number that does not exist, a name that matches nothing, or a range with no observations returns found: false with data_as_of, never an empty array. Upstream failures throw.

Data sources

• https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/CDC/observations_germany/climate/daily/kl/recent/ — per-station tageswerte_KL_<id>_akt.zip, roughly the last 500 days, regenerated daily around 09:00 UTC; also the station description list KL_Tageswerte_Beschreibung_Stationen.txt.
• https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/CDC/observations_germany/climate/daily/kl/historical/ — per-station tageswerte_KL_<id>_<first>_<last>_hist.zip, quality-controlled, ending at the close of the last full year. The file name carries the date range, so the directory listing is read to find it.

Each call fetches only the one station’s file(s) it needs. Where a range spans both archives, the historical (quality-controlled) value wins for any day both cover.

Format notes

• The station list is ISO-8859-1, fixed-width: six numeric columns, then a 41-character name column and a 41-character federal-state column. Station ids are 5-digit zero-padded; the tools accept them with or without leading zeros.
• produkt_klima_tag_*.txt inside each ZIP is semicolon-delimited, -999 = missing (returned as null). QN_3 is the quality level for the wind columns (FX, FM), QN_4 for everything else.
• RSKF (precipitation form) is a code: 0 none, 1 rain, 4 unknown form, 6 rain, 7 snow, 8 rain and snow, 9 missing.
• Many automatic stations report no sunshine duration (SDK); null there is upstream, not a parse failure.
