 There are several other sources of weather data and ways of retrieving them through R.
 Several are also [rOpenSci](https://ropensci.org) projects.

 Collating and manipulating data from CliFlo (hence clifro) and importing into R for further analysis, exploration and visualisation is now straightforward and coherent.
 The user is required to have an Internet connection, and a current CliFlo subscription (free) if data from stations, other than the public Reefton electronic weather station, is sought.
