This is no longer experimental. In the briefing books prepared for government they are specifically cross-correlating the visit data to the weather; streamlining this workflow would save time and perhaps give better insights.
We don't want to mistake a change caused by weather for a change caused by people getting sick of staying inside.

Temperature, rain, cloud cover all could be relevant

Is there a preferred provider of historical weather data?
Seems to have the current conditions:
https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api
It doesn't appear to yet have historical observations.
The Dark Sky API isn't accepting signups any more.
What lat/long locations are necessary to log?
from ca_visit_tracking.
Great questions. I think we really need weather data by state and by county - at least that is what we are plotting today. I think there is probably a dataset that has a zip to use for a county/state or a lat long for a county/state. I think we aren't trying to get tooooo accurate so something close will work. I think there have been some ideas for weather datasets floating around here. @mattjacobus and @dsjoerg probably know some. If not, ask JeremyB in the slack - he's the all knowing data guy

I think we can use OpenWeather Historical Data: https://openweathermap.org/history
from ca_visit_tracking.
All of that historical weather seems to be part of a priced offering. I'm happy to start archiving the current forecasts though.

I think we need to create some rating based on weather conditions.
For example: Walkability
: 100% (No rain/snow, no strong wind and not too hot/cold) - 0% (Strong rain/snow, storm and etc).
I can create an API to get data from the data source and transfer it to that rating (need to work on the formula).

Hmm... I suppose with more past data about mobility and weather, we could fit a Walkability
model per state to understand how different parts of USA react to different weather conditions.

But the simpler thing for now would be to show temperature and precipitation below the chart, and then people looking at it already know how from experience how people in that region react to any given precipitation/temperature combination.

Found another data source: https://water.weather.gov/precip/download.php
It's in GRB and here is Python library to work with that data https://github.com/jswhit/pygrib
from ca_visit_tracking.
Here is the punchlist as I see it to get weather data released.
- We need to set up the ETL jobs to run on GCP (@markroth8 to help/review)
- We need to backfill the historic weather data by copying from @anusheel bucket(s) to ours (@markroth8 to help/review)
- We need to integrate the javascript and accept PR #168 (@ajanian to do)
from ca_visit_tracking.
we have the puchlist issue #178 so this is done
