About
Precipitation statistics regarding the hydrographic balance of the Spanish peninsular territory are provided in this dataset. The data originates from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the public body responsible for meteorological and climate management in Spain, and specifically focuses on precipitation levels organised by province. Additionally, to facilitate accurate representation of the territory, the dataset includes basic topographic data such as municipal, provincial, and autonomous boundaries provided by the National Centre for Geographic Information (CNIG).
Columns
- Parametro: The meteorological parameter measured, specifically "Precipitaciones" (Precipitation).
- periodo de referencia: The base reference interval for the data, identified as 1981-2010.
- region: The specific Spanish territory or province (52 unique values).
- enero - diciembre: Monthly precipitation values for each month from January to December.
- anual: The total annual precipitation value.
Distribution
The primary data file is titled
PREC_1981_2010_Provincias.csv and contains 52 unique records corresponding to Spanish provinces. The file size is approximately 5.34 kB. Additionally, the distribution includes shapefiles (.shp) containing autonomous distributions necessary for mapping the territory. The update frequency for this dataset is expected to be never.Usage
This dataset is ideal for carrying out Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and Data Visualization projects. It allows for the study of hydrographic balances and climate patterns across different regions of Spain. The inclusion of geospatial files makes it suitable for performing Geospatial Analysis. It is also explicitly tagged for use with R and Tidyverse workflows.
Coverage
Geographically, the data covers the peninsular territory of Spain, broken down by province. The temporal coverage refers to the specific reference period of 1981-2010. The data includes all 52 provinces/regions with a 100% valid value rate for the primary keys.
