Version 1.5.0 of MetPy, a collection of tools in Python for reading, visualizing, and performing calculations with weather data, has been released. The project aims to mesh well with the rest of the scientific Python ecosystem, including the Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib projects, adding functionality specific to meteorology. This release brings a few new features, including the ability to plot fronts and boundaries with appropriate styling as well as parsing WPC surface bulletins.
The MetPy development team is looking for anyone who has used MetPy to take the 2023 MetPy Users Survey. The survey should only take approximately 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous.
