Get real-time weather information for any city with this sleek Python-based Weather Conditions App. This project includes both a command-line interface and a web application built with Flask. Simply enter a city name and receive current temperature, "feels like" temperature, and weather description!

• Real-time weather data from OpenWeatherMap API
• Temperature in Celsius
• "Feels like" temperature
• Current weather description
• Error handling for invalid city names
• Web interface using Flask
• Command-line interface option

1. Set up your environment:
   Make sure you have Python installed on your system.

2. Obtain an API Key:
   Sign up on OpenWeather and get your free API key.

3. Set up your environment variables:
   Create a .env file in the project directory and add your API key like this:

   API_KEY=your_openweather_api_key
   

4. Install dependencies:
   Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the App:

   • For the web application, execute:

     python main.py

     Then open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000.

   • For the command-line interface, run:

     python weather_app.py

     Enter the name of a city when prompted to get the current weather.

We use Flask to create a web interface for the weather app:

@app.route('/weather')
def get_weather():
    city = request.args.get('city')
    weather_data = get_current_weather(city)
    # ... process and render data

The weather_app.py script can be run directly for a CLI experience:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    city_name = input("Please, enter a city name: ")
    weather_data = get_current_weather(city_name)
    # ... display weather information

We use Waitress as a production WSGI server:

from waitress import serve

if __name__ == "__main__":
    serve(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

• Add support for forecasting weather data.
• Implement caching to reduce API calls for frequently requested cities.
• Add user authentication to allow saving favorite cities.
• Implement a responsive design for better mobile experience.
