# Weather Data from Wolfram repository: The example from Help doesn't work

From the WeatherDatahelp:

DateListPlot[
WeatherData["KBOS", "TotalPrecipitation", {{2000, 1, 1}, {2005, 12, 31}, "Month"}],
Joined -> True]


gives

But the same procedure in my computer actually gives an error:

DateListPlot::ldata: $Failed is not a valid dataset or list of datasets. Why? I'm seamlessly connected with Repository. For example, historical temperature data analysis works normally. And how do I get historical rainfall data from Repository? Or more generally What to do when particular instances of curated data fail to be fetched? • It works for me (11.3 on Win7). – b.gates.you.know.what Jun 28 '18 at 10:22 • It works for me on 11.2 Win7 as well. – MarcoB Jun 28 '18 at 16:22 • @SlepeckyMamut - if you are still getting $Failed when evaluating WeatherData["KBOS", "TotalPrecipitation", {{2000, 1, 1}, {2005, 12, 31}, "Month"}], try uninstalling the relevant paclet with PacletUninstall@PacletFind@"*WeatherData*". Then restart the kernel and try the WeatherData call again. – Jason B. Jun 28 '18 at 16:50
• This is a valid question, with a useful answer by JasonB, I don't think should be closed. I tried to make it more searchable and of general interest. – rhermans Jun 28 '18 at 17:54
• @rhermans - I would be happy to post this as an answer, but was waiting to hear back from OP to see if the problem was transient or not. – Jason B. Jun 28 '18 at 20:14
