Try removing geopandas and see if that works? I must admit, I have only installed in on a Mac

@peterdudfield Thanks for taking time to propose a solution to my issue but it still gives the same error.

[peterdudfield]

you could run this in docker? Some other solutions here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35640117/installing-pygrib-package

[peterdudfield]

Any luck?

@peterdudfield unfortunately no, I am thinking of using a virtual machine now, what do you suggest?

[peterdudfield]

or use docker
