Weather Data/Weather Forcasted Data.

Just a question,hopefully not a stupid question.

Does quantopian provide or plan to provide the following data:

Weather data (I.e Average temperature and/or rainfall or maybe the forecasted data vs actual data).

Would the NOAA be the best starting point to find such data?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Mitchell,

We don't yet have weather data on the platform but it is definitely on our list to add in the future. In the meantime, we've got lots of other interesting sources to explore from our partners: quantopian.com/data

Thanks
Josh
