Welcome to thermofeel's documentation¶
thermofeel is a Python library developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to integrate thermal (heat and cold) indices into operational systems and to maintain them over time.
It allows users to:
- integrate these methods into their Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) services, and
- calculate thermal indices from their own data.
This supports transparency and reproducibility, and lets users expand the scope of these methods.
Contents¶
- Overview — what thermofeel computes
- Indices — one guide page per thermal index
- Supporting quantities — relative humidity, vapour pressure, mean radiant temperature
- API reference — generated from the source docstrings
- Examples — runnable usage
Install¶
The core depends only on numpy.
