Weather App

A simple Python application that fetches current weather data for a given city using the OpenWeatherMap API. The app provides real-time weather information, including temperature, weather conditions, humidity, and wind speed.

Features

  • Retrieve current weather data for any city.
  • Displays temperature in Celsius.
  • User-friendly interface to input city names.

Getting Started

These instructions will help you set up the project on your local machine.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x installed on your machine.
  • An OpenWeatherMap API key (sign up for free here).

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/jithinjithu10/weather_app.git
cd weather_app

  2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate  # For Windows

  3. Install the required packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Open the weather_app.py file:

    • Open weather_app.py in your preferred code editor.
    • Replace the placeholder your_openweather_api_key with your actual API key.

  2. Run the application:

    python weather_app.py

  3. Enter the city name when prompted.

    Example input:

    Enter the city name: New York

  4. View the weather data displayed on the console.

Example Output

When you run the app and input a city name, the output will look like this:

City: New York
Temperature: 25°C
Weather: clear sky
Humidity: 60%
Wind Speed: 5 m/s
