"What's the weather like as we approach the equator?"

WeatherPy

A Python script to visualize the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator. To accomplish this, simple Python library, and the OpenWeatherMap API have been used.

Objectives

To build a series of scatter plots to showcase the following relationships:

  • Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
  • Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
  • Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
  • Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

This project:

  • Randomly selects at least 500 unique (non-repeat) cities based on latitude and longitude.
  • Performs a weather check on each of the cities using a series of successive API calls.
  • Includes a print log of each city as it's being processed with the city number and city name.
  • Saves both a CSV of all data retrieved and png images for each scatter plot.
  • Includes a written description of three observable trends based on the data.
