rmet: Download and Read Brazilian Meteorological Data from INMET

Automates the download and processing of historical hourly weather data from automatic stations of the Brazilian National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). It provides the official station catalogue with an offline snapshot and nearest-station search, validated and resumable downloads that detect updated archives, and a fast parser for the formatting and encoding inconsistencies of raw CSV files across years. It returns analysis-ready data frames with standardized column names and UTC timestamps. It flags implausible values with transparent quality-control checks, reports data completeness, and builds daily summaries in each station's local time with explicit rules for incomplete days. Data are retrieved from <https://portal.inmet.gov.br/dadoshistoricos> and <https://apitempo.inmet.gov.br/estacoes/T>.
