Out[24]:
{'COLORSCALERANGE': ['271.2,308'],
 'CRS': ['EPSG:4326'],
 'STYLES': ['boxfill/rainbow'],
 'VERSION': ['1.3.0'],
 'bbox': ['-118,22,-108,32'],
 'bgcolor': ['0xFFFFFF'],
 'exceptions': ['application/vnd.ogc.se_xml'],
 'format': ['image/png'],
 'height': ['250'],
 '

['Temperature_height_above_ground'],
 'request': ['GetMap'],
 'srs': ['None'],
 'transparent': ['TRUE'],
 'version': ['1.1.1'],
 'width': ['250']}
