Just running import cfgrib returns the error below. But this works for you?

Is this an issue that cannot be solved?

Thanks again for all your help!

The version of cfgrib i have is: cfgrib=0.9.10.4

I tried to update my own environment as you advised and have this error:

```

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[30], line 2 1 import xarray as xr ----> 2 xr.tutorial.open_dataset("era5-2mt-2019-03-uk.grib")

ImportError: Reading this tutorial dataset requires the cfgrib package. ```

Thanks for getting back to me!

cfgrib is installed. I believe it might be a case that grib files are no longer readable in this way that I am following from: https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/examples/ERA5-GRIB-example.html

As there are error messages on this example page.
