blockx-weather 0.1.1

A Python package to fetch current weather data using OpenWeatherMap API

BlockX Weather

A Python package for weather data processing and calculations.

Installation

pip install blockx-weather

Features

• Create and manage weather data objects
• Convert temperatures between different units (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin)
• Calculate heat index (feels like temperature) based on temperature and humidity
• Calculate wind chill factor based on temperature and wind speed
• Calculate dew point based on temperature and humidity
• Command-line interface (CLI) for quick access to all features
• No external API dependencies - works offline

Usage

As a Library

from blockx_weather import (
    WeatherData, 
    convert_temperature, 
    calculate_heat_index, 
    calculate_wind_chill, 
    calculate_dew_point
)

# Create a weather data object
weather = WeatherData("London", "GB")
weather.set_temperature(20.5, 19.8, "metric")
weather.set_atmosphere(humidity=65, pressure=1013)
weather.set_wind(speed=5.5, direction=180)
weather.set_description("clear sky")
weather.set_timestamp()

# Convert temperature between units
temp_f = convert_temperature(25.0, "metric", "imperial")  # Celsius to Fahrenheit
print(f"25.0°C = {temp_f:.2f}°F")

# Calculate heat index
hi = calculate_heat_index(30.0, 80.0, "metric")  # 30°C with 80% humidity
print(f"Heat index: {hi:.2f}°C")

# Calculate wind chill
wc = calculate_wind_chill(5.0, 20.0, "metric")  # 5°C with 20 m/s wind
print(f"Wind chill: {wc:.2f}°C")

# Calculate dew point
dp = calculate_dew_point(20.0, 65.0, "metric")  # 20°C with 65% humidity
print(f"Dew point: {dp:.2f}°C")

Via Command Line

The package provides several CLI commands:

# Generate sample weather data
blockx-weather sample "London" --temp 20.5 --units metric

# Convert temperature between units
blockx-weather convert 25.0 --from metric --to imperial

# Calculate heat index
blockx-weather heat-index 30.0 80.0 --units metric

# Calculate wind chill
blockx-weather wind-chill 5.0 20.0 --units metric

# Calculate dew point
blockx-weather dew-point 20.0 65.0 --units metric
