rmet: Download and Read Brazilian Meteorological Data from INMET

Automates the download and processing of historical weather data from the Brazilian National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). It provides a cached catalogue of automatic stations, resumable and validated downloads, and parsers for formatting inconsistencies in raw CSV files across different years. It removes structural artifacts, standardizes column names, parses timestamps, and returns data frames ready for analysis. Data are retrieved from <https://portal.inmet.gov.br/dadoshistoricos> and <https://apitempo.inmet.gov.br/estacoes/T>.
