xarray.CFTimeIndex.to_datetimeindex

CFTimeIndex.to_datetimeindex(unsafe=False)

If possible, convert this index to a pandas.DatetimeIndex.

Parameters:
unsafe : bool

Flag to turn off warning when converting from a CFTimeIndex with a non-standard calendar to a DatetimeIndex (default False).

Returns:
pandas.DatetimeIndex
Raises:
ValueError

If the CFTimeIndex contains dates that are not possible in the standard calendar or outside the pandas.Timestamp-valid range.

Warns:
RuntimeWarning

If converting from a non-standard calendar to a DatetimeIndex.

Warning

Note that for non-standard calendars, this will change the calendar type of the index. In that case the result of this method should be used with caution.

Examples

>>> import xarray as xr
>>> times = xr.cftime_range('2000', periods=2, calendar='gregorian')
>>> times
CFTimeIndex([2000-01-01 00:00:00, 2000-01-02 00:00:00], dtype='object')
>>> times.to_datetimeindex()
DatetimeIndex(['2000-01-01', '2000-01-02'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)
