Learn how to manage time zones in Python without relying on deprecated libraries! In this episode of MetPy Mondays, we dive into Python's zoneinfo module to set time zones, convert times across zones, and handle tricky daylight saving transitions. Discover essential time zone tricks for your data workflows, including understanding ambiguous times and performing accurate time arithmetic across zones. Whether you're working with logs, event scheduling, or analyzing time series data, this guide will enhance your Python skills in handling time zones like a pro!

Have you been seeing deprecation warnings from datetime around your UTC time calls? That's important since most earth science data are in UTC! This week learn how to fix it in the return of #MetPyMondays!

As part of my summer of 2024 internship I had the privilege of getting involved with some of NSF Unidata’s Python projects. My work ranged from creating educational tutorials to adding new functionalities to existing libraries, enhancing the resources available to the community.

I would like to begin by saying that this internship has definitely been one of the top highlights of my Ph.D. journey. I spent most of my working hours implementing the idea of server-side virtual data processing. This means that data on the THREDDS Data Servers (TDS) could be virtually processed without actually modifying the data. As such, the data integrity would remain intact, but it could be optimized for ML/AI.

This week we give you some helpful tips on ways you can help contribute to and shape open source software!
