Background

Using Python requests, APIs, and JSON traversals I created a Python script to visualize the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator. Specifically, I used the CitiPy library and the OpenWeatherMap API to create representative model of weather across world cities.

Step by Step

• Randomly selected at least 500 unique (non-repeat) cities based on latitude and longitude.
• Performed a weather check on each of the cities using a series of successive API calls.
• Included a print log of each city as it's being processed with the city number and city name.
• Built a series of scatter plots to showcase the following relationships:
  • Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
  • Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
  • Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
  • Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude
