I have an Excel file (a table) containing precipitation data, I need to place that data into a map. Each of the precipitation values correspond to a point which has a latitude and longitude.
I assume that the values have to be interpolated but I am not sure how to do it.
Could you help me with that?
You can do it with several options, geopandas for example can do the trick in python, also you can use Data Studio or another tool for data analysis. Hope it helps.
You can use Python and Jupyter notebooks to plot your precipitation data on a map. To do this, you can use libraries such as pandas to read the Excel file, numpy to perform interpolation, and matplotlib or folium to create the map.
Bearing in mind the above suggestions, It is simplest to plot the points on the maps. If you wish to interpolate the point data to create isohyets (lines of equal rainfall), you might wish to do some research on the best interpolation method, to give the accuracy that you need, for your circumstances. There are a number of interpolation algorithms, that will produce varying results.
