pynws
A python library to asynchronously retrieve weather observation from NWS/NOAA.
Example
See example.py for a runnable example.
PHILLY = (39.95, -75.16)
USERID = "testing@address.xyz"
async def example():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
nws = pynws.SimpleNWS(*PHILLY, USERID, session)
await nws.set_station()
await nws.update_observation()
await nws.update_forecast()
await nws.update_alerts_forecast_zone()
print(nws.observation)
print(nws.forecast[0])
print(nws.alerts_forecast_zone)
Functionality
pynws exposes the ability to retrieve raw data using raw_data module. Nws class offers ability to retrieve minimally processed data for a single location. SimpleNWS class offers data caching and several other helpers for interpreting output.
Units for Observations in SimpleNWS
NWS API does not expose all possible units for observations. Known units are converted to the following:
| unit type | known NWS units | pynws unit |
|---|---|---|
| temperature | degF, degC | Celsius |
| pressure | Pa | Pascal |
| speed | m_s-1, km_h-1 | km_h-1 |
| percent | percent | percent |
| angle | degree_(angle) | degrees |
| distance | m | meter |
