get_historical data

offwinter opened this issue · 5 comments

Hi, I am new to R. When I try to repeat the sample Canberra_mintemps <- get_historical(latlon = c(-35.2809, 149.1300),type = "min")

It gives me the error like this:

Closest station: 070351 (CANBERRA AIRPORT)
trying URL 'http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/ncc/cdio/weatherData/av?p_display_type=dailyZippedDataFile&p_stn_num=070351&p_c=-989916801&p_nccObsCode=123'

Data saved as
Error in file(file, "rt") : invalid 'description' argument
In addition: Warning message:
In utils::unzip(tmp, exdir = dirname(tmp)) : zip file is corrupt

Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, I'll look into this. It's a fairly new function so some things can still go wrong occasionally.

Identical error. Fixed by install_github("ropensci/bomrang")
