      I need a data for the last year for my location, I need data for wind speed for every hour. where can I found it?
      my location is Hengelo, Overijssel, Netherland.
      Or can you send it to me?
      this is my email jakob19888@gmail.com

        If you are interested in official data, you have to contact:
        https://www.knmi.nl/over-het-knmi/how-to-contact-knmi

        As I can see, nearby there is the Twenthe Airport.
        At the airport (location indicator EHTW) there is a meteorological station
        and (I believe) people there can provide you data needed.
        Also you can search the internet for actual weather data for met. station
        Twenthe Airport, EHTW in various sites
        e.g. https://weatherspark.com/y/148062/Average-Weather-at-Twenthe-Airport-Netherlands-Year-Round

        Also, you can download the data from Twenthe Automatic Weather Station, here

              Could you give us an idea of how much space 1 month of data would take?

                    Re: storage. Access even to a very sub-sampled historical data would be useful as well!

                    If you have data at 1 degree resolution, that is roughly 360*180 points per globe. If you were to only keep 5 (7, 10) basic measurements (pressure, temperaturue, wind speed/direction, precipitation) at three different altitudes (0, 850hPa, 500hPa), it gives you: 360 * 180 * 5 * 3 * 4 (bytes per float32), which is about 4MB per measurement. Sample it every 3 hours over a year, and that would be 8GB/year. Go to 0.5 degree resolution, and that's 32GB/year. That still can fit on my laptop. And I think grib files actually use less than 4 bytes per point.

                    I was also frustrated with the lack of any ways to access historical data. So I'm actually planning to download a bunch of grib files from public GFS server, select only relevant timepoints/layers, and save them for viewing in existing grib viewers (or publish them somewhere). It is still a lot of work, probably a week of coding for me, and however many days/weeks to download the data. I may actually do this project at some point.

                      Is it possible to view data less than 24 hours ago?
                      I assumed this was possible, but there is a reset at 00:00.

                        @bartbv I found out, this is possible by changing your computers local time.

                                I am working on finding a sustainable shipping solution by harnessing wind energy on ships and for which i need to understand the wind patterns /speed along the Indian Peninsular . If there is an paid subscription for historical view or any other arrangements possible , please do let me know .

                                          Hi, Ivo.

                                          As a farmer, I definitely need the historical data.

                                            Please. It would be great for ocean rowing.
