This function retrieves daily NICAM16_8S climate data from the Open-Meteo API for a given point of latitude/longitude.
Required Arguments:
1) latitude (Float or Integer) - Latitude in decimal degrees.
2) longitude (Float or Integer) - Longitude in decimal degrees.
Optional Arguments:
1) start_date (String) - Default=’1950-01-01’. Start date in the format of ‘YYYY-mm-dd’. Record begins at 1950-01-01.
2) end_date (String) - Default=’2050-12-31’. End date in the format of ‘YYYY-mm-dd’. Record ends at 2050-12-31.
3) temperature_units (String) - Default=’fahrenheit’. The units for temperature.
Valid Temperature Units
-----------------------
1) fahrenheit
2) celsius
4) wind_speed_units (String) - Default=’mph’. The units for wind speed.
Valid Wind Speed Units
----------------------
1) mph - miles per hour
2) kmh - kilometers per hour
