| Description | Hourly geographically aggregated weather data for Europe |
| Notes | This data package contains radiation and temperature data, at hourly resolution, for Europe, aggregated by Renewables.ninja from the NASA MERRA-2 reanalysis. It covers the European countries using a population-weighted mean across all MERRA-2 grid cells within the given country. |
| Last changes | Include radiation and temperature data up to 2019 |
| Geographical scope | Europe |
