Locationforecast: Examples

Setting up

The examples assume you have set up a Locationforecast client with a valid User-Agent like so:

import yr_weather

# Replace with your own User-Agent. See MET API Terms of Service for correct User-Agents.
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Your User-Agent"
}

my_client = yr_weather.Locationforecast(headers=headers)

Important

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

Getting the air temperature

# Get air temperature for Oslo, Norway.
air_temp = my_client.get_air_temperature(59.91, 10.75)

print(air_temp)
# Example output: 8.0

Getting full weather data

# Full weather data for Oslo, Norway.
# Returns a typed dict for easy access to data.
weather_data = my_client.get_forecast(59.91, 10.75, "compact")

print(weather_data)
# Example output:
# {
#   "type": "Feature",
#   "geometry": {
#     "type": "Point",
#     "coordinates": [
#       10.75,
#       59.91,
