This program fetches weather data from Open-Meteo and plots them. It can plot today's weather, archived weather data from the past 5 hours, 4 days, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months, as well as forecast data for the next 3 days. The program can plot in both Metric and Imperial units.
The Open-Meteo API fetches different parameters for hourly and daily weather data, and our program follows the same convention. The parameters plotted for hourly and daily weather data are slightly different.
Hourly data parameters include:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Precipitation
- Cloud cover
- Surface pressure
- Wind speed and direction
Daily data parameters include:
- Temperature (max, min and mean over time)
- Precipitation sum
- Sunshine duration
- Wind speed and direction
