abstract: Provides clean, tidy access to climate and weather data from the 'National
  Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration' ('NOAA') via the 'National Centers for Environmental
  Information' ('NCEI') Data Service API <https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/support/access-data-service-api-user-documentation>.
  Covers daily weather observations, monthly and annual summaries, and 30-year climate
  normals from over 100,000 stations across 180 countries. No API key is required.
  Dedicated functions handle the most common datasets, while a generic fetcher provides
  access to all 'NCEI' datasets. Station discovery functions help users find stations
  by location or name. Data is downloaded on first use and cached locally for subsequent
  calls. This package is not endorsed or certified by 'NOAA'.
