I think Jorge wants to store data just at a single point (not a full raster). Any QGIS datasource would do: sqlite, PostgreSQL, etc.

sqlite is easier to exchange with other people, Postgis makes more sense in a centralized multiuser environment. Both have good performance and SQL capabilities, PostgreSQL is of course more powerful.

Netcdf would definitely be overkill if one stores temperature values just at a single point.

its ok, I did not manage to get there.  Incidentally can qgis deal
with it, think I asked this question a year or two ago and I suspect
the answer was no although I may be wrong.

I think the best way is NetCDF.

Hi all

what do you think is the best way to store temerature data in one poin?
using attributes ? like Time, Date , Temp in a simgle point and keep
repeating that point ? or can I have something like a relational DB on
a shapefile ? or should I use postgis to achieve that ?

Thanks
Jorge
