Update storms data to 2020 #6000
Conversation
Hi guys, I'm a coral reef ecologist working in an EU project on Caribbean coral reefs and very interested in these scripts and figures, however, I'm not very familiar with github. I can code R, but I'm not an expert like you guys (more old school I fear). Can I use your code and examples? I've downloaded the latest hurdat text file and used your script to make it into a normal data frame. Seems to work all fine. It's a great help. Thanks for this. Erik |

data only went up to 2015, so I updated the data through 2020.More easy to update in the future: The code for generating the storms dataset depended on a file that was not available and used deprecated functions. These issues have been fixed. As long as the data source URL is updated, it should be simple to rerun and update this dataset annually.
I added some example code for the

Possible breaking change: I changed

. They weren't used in any examples, and barely used in other github repositories, so impact should be very minimal.Fixes issue Number of storms in
