 Python Version

-RocketPy supports Python 3.7 and above.
+RocketPy supports Python 3.8 and above.
 Sorry, there are currently no plans to support earlier versions.
-If you really need to run RocketPy on Python 3.6 or earlier, feel free to submit an issue and we will see what we can do!

 Required Packages
 -----------------
@@ -20,16 +20,15 @@ The following packages are needed in order to run RocketPy:
 - Numpy >= 1.0
 - Scipy >= 1.0
 - Matplotlib >= 3.0
-- netCDF4 >= 1.4, < 1.6 for Python 3.7+, netCDF4 >= 1.6.2 for Python 3.11
+- netCDF4 >= 1.6.4
+- windrose >= 1.6.8
 - requests
 - pytz
 - simplekml
 
 All of these packages, are automatically installed when RocketPy is installed using either ``pip`` or ``conda``.
 However, in case the user wants to install these packages manually, they can do so by following the instructions bellow.
 
-Note: Google Colab and netCDF4 don't play well together for netCDF4 >= 1.6 (see `this issue <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python/issues/1179>`_). If you are using Google Colab, you should install netCDF4 < 1.6 or use `condacolab <https://github.com/conda-incubator/condacolab>`_) to install netCDF4 >= 1.6.
