Meteostat allows you to define geographical points using latitude, longitude, and optional elevation. These points can be used to retrieve weather data for specific locations that may not have a dedicated weather station. Points are also used as input for functions that require a location reference. The Point class in the Meteostat Python library provides a simple way to create and manage these geographical points.

:::tip Meteostat will validate the latitude and longitude values to ensure they fall within acceptable ranges. Latitude must be between -90 and 90 degrees, while longitude must be between -180 and 180 degrees. :::

import meteostat as ms

# Define a geographical point (latitude, longitude, elevation)
point = ms.Point(50.1155, 8.6842, 113)  # Example: Frankfurt, Germany

print(point)
