When using data from external sources it’s a good idea to take note of when data was downloaded, which version (if possible) and with what.
Reproducibility with weathercan can be achieved by taking note (or better yet, compiling reports) with the following information:
For example:
# Work
library(weathercan)
s <- stations_search("Winnipeg", normals_years = "current")
w <- weather_dl(s, interval = "month", start = "2021-01-01")
# Reproducibility
stations_meta()
