Get Satellite and Radar Images

from weatheril import *
weather = WeatherIL(21,"he")
images = weather.get_radar_images()

The get_radar_images will retun an object with four lists:

  • imsradar_images - Rain radar images (IMS).
  • radar_images - Radar images.
  • middle_east_satellite_images - Middel East weather sattelite images.
  • europe_satellite_images - Eourope weather sattelite images.

You can also create animateg gif from this images lists by using the create_animation method as follows:

from weatheril import *
weather = WeatherIL(21,"he")
images = weather.get_radar_images()
animated = images.create_animation(images = images.middle_east_satellite_images, animated_file = "file.gif", path="/tmp")

The function will return the path for the created image.

Optional You can use the following function to create animated gifs for all images

from weatheril import *
weather = WeatherIL(21,"he")
images = weather.get_radar_images()
images.generate_images(path="Path to store the images")

Sattelite

Get current weather status for given location

from weatheril import *
weather = WeatherIL(21,"he")
current = weather.get_current_analysis()

The result will be a weather object containing the data requested:

  • Location.
  • Humidity.
  • Rain.
  • Temperature.
  • Wind speed.
  • Feels like.
  • UV.
  • Time
  • Json result

            "id": "1601809",
            "lid": "33",

        }

Get weather forcast

from weatheril import *
weather = WeatherIL(21,"he")
forcats = weather.get_forcast()

This method wil return forcast object that includes weather forcast for the new 5 days. The object contains data on Coutry level and also on give location Forcast >> Daily >> Hourly.

class Forcast:
    days: list

class Daily:
    date: datetime
    location: str
    day: str
    weather: str
    minimum_temperature: int
    maximum_temperature: int
    maximum_uvi: int
    hours: list
    description: str

class Hourly:
    hour: str
    weather: str
