gz file not found for {stationId}

Hi,

I tried to download some gz archive from bulk section, but the URL is not working.

For example, for this station:
{ "id": "15422", "name": { "en": "Bucharest / Filaret" }, "country": "RO", "region": "B", "identifiers": { "national": null, "wmo": "15422", "icao": null }, "location": { "latitude": 44.4167, "longitude": 26.0833, "elevation": 82 }, "timezone": "Europe/Bucharest", "inventory": { "model": { "start": "2021-01-01", "end": "2021-11-23" }, "hourly": { "start": "1979-08-08", "end": "2021-10-16" }, "daily": { "start": "1997-01-03", "end": "2021-10-16" }, "monthly": { "start": 1981, "end": 2021 }, "normals": { "start": 1961, "end": 1990 } } },

I tried this URL: https://bulk.meteostat.net/v2/normals/15422.csv.gz
which returns 404.

Is there anything I missed in documentation? I followed steps described here: https://dev.meteostat.net/bulk/normals.html#endpoint
However, I tried for some other stations and it was working, but with most of them the archives are missing.

Thanks!

Hi,

Normals are not available for all weather stations. We usually use 30 years of observations to calculate these long-term averages. The minimum requirement is 10 years of observations. If we don't have enough data, we don't provide normals for that weather station. But it's a good point we should add to the docs 👍
