MetPy is a Python library of tools for reading, visualizing, and performing calculations with weather data. It is developed by NSF Unidata and widely used in meteorology and atmospheric science.
Use cases
- plot a skew-T log-P diagram from a weather balloon sounding
- calculate meteorological indices like CAPE or dewpoint from weather data
- read and decode GRIB or other weather data files in Python
- make weather maps and hodographs from observational data
- convert between meteorological units and perform thermodynamic calculations
When to choose
- you work with weather or atmospheric science data in Python
- you need standard meteorological calculations and sounding plots
- you want a well-maintained, documented scientific library with an active community
When to avoid
- you need real-time weather data ingestion pipelines rather than analysis tools
- your domain is unrelated to meteorology or atmospheric data
