Textforecast: Examples

Setting up

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

import yr_weather

my_client = yr_weather.Textforecast()

Important

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

Getting text forecast for a location

At the time of writing, text forecasts for land are only available in Norwegian.

land_overview = my_client.get_forecasts("landoverview")

forecast_now = land_overview.now()

# Location names are available at Textforecast.get_areas()
forecast_east = forecast_now.locations.get("Østlandet")

print("The text forecast for Østlandet is:")
print(forecast_east.text)
# Example output:
# Vestlig bris, frisk bris utsatte steder, liten kuling på kysten. Nordøst i Innlandet fylke enkelte sludd- og regnbyger, ellers oppholdsvær og perioder med sol.

# Not sure which locations are available in the forecast you received? Use TextForecastLocations.names
locations = forecast_now.locations.names

Getting available areas

areas = my_client.get_areas("land") # Can also get areas for "coast"

names = [area.name for area in areas]
names_string = ", ".join(names)

print(f"All available areas for textforecast are: {names_string}")
# Example output:
# All available areas for textforecast are: Agder, Telemark og Agder, Østlandet, Østlandet og Telemark, ...

Getting other types of forecasts

For available types of forecasts, see Textforecast’s documentation.

coast_forecasts = my_client.get_forecasts("coast_no")

forecast_now = coast_forecasts.now()

# You can also get a forecast from the list manually
second_forecast = coast_forecasts.times[1]

print(f"Second forecast is valid from {second_forecast.from_time} and to {second_forecast.to_time}")
# Example output:
# Second forecast is valid from 2023-10-13T00:00:00 and to 2023-10-14T00:00:00
