        location=geolocator.geocode(city)
        obj=TimezoneFinder()
    
        result=obj.timezone_at(lng=location.longitude,lat=location.latitude)
        home=pytz.timezone(result)
        local_time=datetime.now(home)

        condition=json_data['weather'][0]['main']
        description=json_data['weather'][0]['description']
        temp=int(json_data['main']['temp']-273.15)
        pressure=json_data['main']['pressure']
        humidity=json_data['main']['humidity']
        wind=json_data['wind']['speed']
