About

An alerting system to let you know if the weather is going to be "relatively great" in the next 7 days.

Why: This inspired by someone who, if there is a great day forecast, will cancel all their meetings on that day.

Currently provides an alert when the upcoming maxTemp for a day exceeds the average over the previous 2 weeks by 25% (NB: doesn't yet consider wind/rain!)

About

Requirements

  1. VisualCrossing API key added to ~/.env as visualcrossing and the LOCATION variable to be added to the code. Test this on Visualcrossing
  2. Requires xbar to be installed, and clearmycal.12h.py to be copied to the folder

Test with python clearmycal.12h.py

The .12h.py indicates to the xbar app how often to run the code.

Todo

  1. median/mean for the alert
  2. icons or text
  3. email notifications and check calendar

WIP

  • Compare different types of weather instead of just temperature. Asking here but might need to just make a best get

Done

  • number of days to look ahead in the forecast for alerts
  • error messages for credit limit and API key
