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")

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
