It creates standardized catalog items and collections that describe forecast model outputs, making them discoverable and queryable through STAC APIs and tools. The package depends on pystac for catalog construction and shapely for spatial geometry handling.\n\nThis is a specialized tool for organizations working with Met Office forecast data on AWS or similar platforms. It is not maintained by the Met Office itself but by the stactools community. The package targets developers building weather data pipelines, geospatial catalogs, or climate analysis platforms that need to index and serve Met Office forecasts alongside other spatiotemporal assets.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a geospatial data platform or weather pipeline that needs to catalog Met Office forecasts. The low install friction and permissive license make it a straightforward addition. However, the aging maintenance status (no release in 198 days) means you should verify that it meets your current needs before committing; check whether it handles your specific forecast model runs and whether community support is sufficient for your use case."},"id":"stactools-met-office-deterministic","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stactools-met-office-deterministic","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/stactools-met-office-deterministic.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/stactools-met-office-deterministic/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"stactools-met-office-deterministic","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python package for generating STAC metadata for the Met Office Deterministic Numerical Weather Prediction model"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3185194,"position":2708,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.2"}
