Finnish Meteorological Institute Weather

Library for fetching weather information from Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).

Originally build for personal use because I wanted to create FMI integration for Home Assistant.

BETA WARNING! This is still under heavy development. The public API is not frozen yet so DO NOT consider it to be stable. Any version can have breaking changes.

How to use

Working example can be found in example.py.

import fmi_weather_client

weather1 = fmi_weather_client.weather_by_coordinates(60.170998, 24.941325)
weather2 = fmi_weather_client.weather_by_place_name("Rastila, Helsinki")
forecast1 = fmi_weather_client.forecast_by_place_name("Jäppilä, Pieksämäki")
forecast2 = fmi_weather_client.forecast_by_coordinates(67.6894, 28.62406, timestep_hours=12)
