Temperature By Municipality in Spain

This dataset contains information about the daily average temperature by municipality in Spain. It contains temperature data from 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2022. This data comes from the weather stations of the Spanish State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) and from the weather stations provided independently by each autonomous community. It uses information from 1,193 weather stations in 2015, 1,244 stations in 2016, 1,305 stations in 2017, 1,382 stations in 2018, 1,493 stations in 2019, 1,544 stations in 2020, 1,594 stations in 2021 and 1,581 stations in 2022. This measurement by municipality is produced in three steps. First, I identify the population center of each municipality using the 2018 GEOSTAT 1km2 population grid dataset. Second, I calculate the distance between the population center of each municipality and each weather monitor. Third, I construct the weighted daily mean temperature variable for each municipality by considering all weather stations within 20 km of the center of the municipality.
