# QHurricane

Thanks to some tools developed by Faunalia and Enrico Ferreguti it is possible to download `grib` files. These files are very used in meteorological application and QGIS loads them as `Mesh` data type. See the [dedicated plugin page](https://www.faunalia.eu/en/dev/qgribdownloader)

A simple workflow will consist in:

1. Download the [QGribDownloader](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/gribdownloader/) plugin
2. Load a background layer
3. Choose the area of interest
4. Download the file

Once downloaded you can use the native QGIS symbology to create awesome styles.

An example? Have a look at the Hurricane Dorian path:
