WeatherAPI

Fetch weather, air quality, and water quality data using Open-Meteo.

Usage

Option 1: API Only

Use API_weather_tool.py to fetch all data directly from APIs.

Option 2: Local Docker + APIs

Use a local Docker container for weather data and fetch air/water quality from APIs.

Setup:

1. Create a Docker volume:

    # Create a Docker volume to store weather data
    docker volume create --name open-meteo-data # this is in /var/lib/docker/volumes
   
    # Create a Docker volume on a specific path
    docker volume create \
      --driver local \
      --opt type=none \
      --opt device=<path_to_folder>/open-meteo-historical \
      --opt o=bind \
        open-meteo-historical
   

2. Run OpenMeteoDataFetcher.sh to download weather data

   • Set DAYS to specify how many days of historical data to fetch

3. Use LocalOpenMeteoAPI.py to fetch data from the local Docker container and APIs

Note: The fetcher uses Copernicus satellite data by default. Edit the script to select other satellites.
