Description: Compute the standard suite of climate indices from daily
    weather observations. Provides the canonical 'ETCCDI' 27 (Expert
    Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices), the 'ET-SCI'
    heatwave and cold-wave families plus the Excess Heat Factor of
    Nairn and Fawcett (2013), and agroclimatic, drought, and
    human-comfort families. Drought indices ('SPI', 'SPEI') accept a
    choice of distribution (gamma or Pearson III for SPI; log-logistic
    or generalised extreme value for SPEI). Reference
    evapotranspiration is available via Hargreaves and the FAO-56
    Penman-Monteith method (Allen et al. 1998). Percentile-based
    indices support the Zhang (2005) in-base bootstrap. Daily inputs
    are numeric vectors plus a 'Date' vector; outputs are tidy data
    frames. Optional gridded support via 'terra' applies any index
    over a 'SpatRaster' and reads 'netCDF' input. No external API
    calls; pairs with data packages such as 'readnoaa'. References:
