Package: rdwd 1.9.17

rdwd: Select and Download Climate Data from 'DWD' (German Weather Service)

Handle climate data from the 'DWD' ('Deutscher Wetterdienst', see <https://www.dwd.de/EN/climate_environment/cdc/cdc_node_en.html> for more information). Choose observational time series from meteorological stations with 'selectDWD()'. Find raster data from radar and interpolation according to <https://brry.github.io/rdwd/raster-data.html>. Download (multiple) data sets with progress bars and no re-downloads through 'dataDWD()'. Read both tabular observational data and binary gridded datasets with 'readDWD()'.
