When retrieving curated data, v10 now returns TimeSeries objects.

For example, 

ts = WeatherData["KP60", "Temperature", {{2013, 7, 1}, {2013, 9, 30}}]

DateListPlot[ts]

What is the most convenient way to extract a range from this temporal data, for example for plotting purposes? E.g. only plot the first two weeks of August from this data.

I know I can simply convert it to a list using Normal and then use e.g. Select to filter. Is there anything better?

One of the new operations on TimeSeries objects is TimeSeriesWindow. I think it does what you need.

ts = WeatherData["KP60", "Temperature", {{2013, 7, 1}, {2013, 9, 30}}];
DateListPlot[TimeSeriesWindow[ts, {{2013, 8, 1}, {2013, 8, 14}}]]

  • $\begingroup$ How do I get the results back into a TimeSeries? It's returning a different format causing subsequent errors in code that expects a TimeSeries. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Michael, the TimeSeriesWindow argument to DateListPlot will be a TimeSeries. You might be using the DateListPlot output which is not a TimeSeries. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I'm not sure what to say without more information. I do know that TimeSeriesWindow will return a TimeSeries when used as documented. $\endgroup$
