Quick demo

library(climaemet)
library(tidyverse)
temp2020 <- aemet_daily_period(
  "8416",
  start = 2020, end = 2020
)
ggplot(temp2020) +
  geom_col(aes(fecha, tmed, fill = tmed)) +
  scale_fill_gradientn(
    colours = hcl.colors(20, "RdBu", rev = TRUE),
    labels = scales::label_number(suffix = "º")
  ) +
  guides(fill = guide_colorsteps()) +
  theme_minimal() +
  labs(
    title = "Valencia, Spain",
    subtitle = "AEMET Station Id: 8416",
    fill = "Avg. daily temp."
  ) +
