How to Use ECMWF Weather Forecasts in Machine Learning Models

Loading the data, querying historical weather, training ML model

The European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) provides weather forecasts globally. If you have an ML problem that requires weather as an input feature (e.g. you are trying to forecast demand for umbrellas or ice-cream), you can use ECMWF data to train your ML model on historical data and use ECMWF’s real-time forecasts when predicting.

Recently, Google open-sourced a set of Apache Beam pipelines that make weather data much …
