Disclaimer

No party involved with CycloMonitor should make any claim that this bot is intended to replace tropical cyclone advisories/warnings issued by your local RSMC or TCWC. If you need more detailed information than what is provided by the bot, see your local RSMC or TCWC website for forecasts, potential land impacts, or other relevant information.

Some Linux distributions may require you to set up a virtual environment.

Create a file called TOKEN and paste your bot's token into it.

If you're using a virtual environment, ensure it is active before running the bot.
No feedback is given on the console. Instead, information is written to a file called bot.log.
