Radar: Examples

Setting up

The examples assume you have set up a Radar client like so:

import yr_weather

my_client = yr_weather.Radar()

Important

All of the next examples will use my_client as a reference to your client.

Valid types

For valid areas, see types.radar.RadarArea.

For valid radar types, see types.radar.RadarType.

Getting a radar image

area = "central_norway"
r_type = "5level_reflectivity"
content_type = "image"

result = my_client.get_radar(area, r_type, content_type)

with open("image.png", "wb") as f:
    for chunk in result:
        f.write(chunk)

Getting a radar image for a selected time

from datetime import datetime

# Replace with your time
time_now = datetime(2023, 1, 20, 12, 00, 00)
time_str = time_now.isoformat(timespec="seconds") + "Z"

result = radar.get_radar("central_norway", "5level_reflectivity", "image", time_str)

if result.ok:
    with open("image.png", "wb") as f:
        for chunk in result:
            f.write(chunk)
else:
    print("Couldn't get this radar image/animation!")
