Abstract

• This simple but powerful app asks the user to click a GUI button then click another RUN button then it displays the current weather conditions of the city.
• Good to note, the openweathermap API supports a time-delay of 10 mins before they can refresh their servers to update the user of the weather data requessted for.

• You'll first of all need to sign up for a free account with Openweathermap to get a FREE API to request for the near-real time weather data.

• This should take less than 2 hours to receive your API

• Once in the main project directory, run pip install -r requirements.txt command.This will enable your python pip/pip3 to read through the requirements.txt file in this folder and installs the python libraries needed for this project.

• Then, go to the url = "https://api.openweathermap... line and paste your API key there towards the end of that line as indicated, just before .format().

• Once it is through without any errors, run python main.py or python3 main.py depending on the python versin you're using.

• upon running the code, you'll see an image like the one labelled selectCity.png

  • Will fix the image bug later

• Click the select the city button, from the drop down , you'll see cities to view their weather and click RUN button.

• You'll see and image like the one labeled results.png
