Hello Sir/Madam,
I followed the information on your website[1] about request for climate
data and found this email address.
I would like to know if Mauritius Meteorological Services provides
recent weather data for free in an open format?
That would hopefully be in line with the Open Data
Initiative [2] [3] announced by the goverment a few years ago.
I am specifically looking for a similar type of data available on the
myT weather app, which they indicate is from your office[4].
I would be grateful if you could point me in the correct direction to
access these data sets.
Reason for request of data
I am a Mauritian Developer who builds small open source projects about
interesting things on the island in good faith as it helps other people
and allows me to use my skills in a creative and useful manner.
I would like to build a small weather application, personal non-
commercial project, to experiment with weather data available for
Mauritius.
In a slightl more technical term, JSON data would be ideal, but any
other accesible and open format would also be welcome.
You can see a few of my existing projects below :
Mauritius Sea Cables -
https://mrsunshyne.github.io/mauritius-sea-cable/
Maurtius Fuel Prices -
https://mauritius-fuel-prices.netlify.app/
Mauritius Internet Prices -
https://mauritius-internet-prices.netlify.app/
Mauritius Covid-19 Tracker -
https://covid19.ramgolam.com/
All of which are open-source projects where the data and the code are
made freely and publicly accessible under fair use.
I am CC'ing the Mauritius Internet Users mailing list for transparency
and Mr R. Hawabhay who had been involved in previous open data
discussions.
Best Regards and In Good Faith
