The python script downloads latest temperature data from era5 and calculates average heating degree days for Austria. The R-Script prepares the data so that it can be shown online. Heating degree days allow to understand the extent that households have to heat - they are useful to determine if gas demand comes from heating or from other sectors.

I did not create code to visualize the results online.

The python script needs:

  • xarray
  • netcdf4
  • cdsapi

The cdsapi can be installed via conda, but a config file has to be created, see https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api-how-to
