===Meteostat===

Meteostat offers very inexpensive access to historical weather data for locations around the world. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer live weather information - we suggest using the **WeatherAPI** driver to access live information. 

You'll need to sign up for a free **Meteostat Key** before you can use service.

Frequently making reports/dashboards etc that use weather data points may incur a charge or require an upgrade to a paid account.

Note that your ARDI server will need access to the internet to access this data.
