weather bot

[genekogan]

Let's make a weather bot as another program. Some notes in this notebook...

We can use OpenWeatherMap.

This does the basics, getting wind, rain, and temperature forecast. Now to connect it to the bot.

import os
from datetime import timezone, datetime
from datetime import timedelta
from pyowm import OWM

def utc_to_local(utc_dt):
    return utc_dt.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc).astimezone(tz=None)

api_key = 'MY_API_KEY'

owm = OWM(api_key)
obs = owm.weather_at_coords(-0.107331,51.503614)  

today = datetime.today().date()
tomorrow = today + timedelta(days=1)

fc = owm.three_hours_forecast_at_coords(40.744206, -74.000630)   # new york as an example

weather = fc.get_forecast()
forecast = [{'time': utc_to_local(datetime.utcfromtimestamp(w.get_reference_time())),
             'temperature': w.get_temperature('fahrenheit')['temp'],
             'wind': w.get_wind('miles_hour')['speed'], 
             'rain': None if w.get_rain()=={} else w.get_rain()['3h'],
             'heat_index': w.get_heat_index(),
             'status': w.get_detailed_status()} 
            for w in weather.get_weathers()]

today_forecast = [f for f in forecast if f['time'].date() == today]
tomorrow_forecast = [f for f in forecast if f['time'].date() == tomorrow]

print(today_forecast)
