Hello,

I want to consider the effect of weather on trade. Data on trade are at
country level per month (I get them from COMEXT).

As for the weather data, I consider those by the NOOA, specifically from
dataset GSOM on temperature and precipitation (
https://data.noaa.gov/dataset/dataset/global-summary-of-the-month-version-1-0).
The GSOM refers to station level by month/year.

Since I need an observation by month for each country, the idea is to
simply make an average of the temp and prec from the stations within a
country.

I would like to ask to you if you see some criticalities in this approach.

Best Regards
