Panos is looking into this now. Given the satellite-based nature of the dataset, we might be better able to parse it with the functions that I am building in Dragonfly. This can be discussed more after I get the basic functionality of DF set and Panos has gotten a chance to understand the dataset.

This still remains a relevant issue and I welcome anyone to tackle it. Also, anyone who tackles this issue should also check the progress made through this discussion: http://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/rainfall-data-component/2197

Does the PR above resolve this @chriswmackey ?

[mostaphaRoudsari]

This hasn't been resolved ans is a pretty good issue for hacktoberfest.

@mostaphaRoudsari, The component shared in the last post by Rafael seems to work. Do you have any comments on what Rafael put together?

[mostaphaRoudsari]

@devngc, I haven't tested it not sure if @chriswmackey has done the tests. If it works then one should send a PR.

[chriswmackey]

Agreed. Send a PR and we will be very happy to comment on anything that should be changed and then merge it.

Any updates on this component ?
