Provides means for downloading historical weather data from
the Environment and Climate Change Canada website
(<https://climate.weather.gc.ca/historical_data/search_historic_data_e.html>).

and automatically processed into a single dataset. Tools are also provided
to identify stations either by name or proximity to a location.
