A Python wrapper around the OpenWeatherMap API

PyOWM is a client Python wrapper library for the OpenWeatherMap (OWM) web API.

It allows quick and easy consumption of OWM weather data from Python applications via a simple object model and in a human-friendly fashion.

PyOWM runs on Python 2.7 and Python 3.2+, and integrates with Django 1.10+ models.

Install with pip for your ease:

$ pip install pyowm

There is a lot of alternatives: setuptools, Windows installers and common package managers such as Yaourt

PyOWM integrates with Django 1.10+ models.

As the OpenWeatherMap API needs a valid API key to allow responses, PyOWM won't work if you don't provide one. This stands for both the free and paid (pro) subscription plans.

You can signup for a free API key on the OWM website

Please notice that the free API subscription plan is subject to requests throttling.

import pyowm

owm = pyowm.OWM('your-API-key')  # You MUST provide a valid API key

# Have a pro subscription? Then use:
# owm = pyowm.OWM(API_key='your-API-key', subscription_type='pro')

# Will it be sunny tomorrow at this time in Milan (Italy) ?
forecast = owm.daily_forecast("Milan,it")
tomorrow = pyowm.timeutils.tomorrow()
forecast.will_be_sunny_at(tomorrow)  # Always True in Italy, right? ;-)

# Search for current weather in London (UK)
observation = owm.weather_at_place('London,uk')
w = observation.get_weather()
print(w)                      # <Weather - reference time=2013-12-18 09:20,
                              # status=Clouds>

# Weather details
w.get_wind()                  # {'speed': 4.6, 'deg': 330}
w.get_humidity()              # 87
w.get_temperature('celsius')  # {'temp_max': 10.5, 'temp': 9.7, 'temp_min': 9.0}

# Search current weather observations in the surroundings of
# lat=22.57W, lon=43.12S (Rio de Janeiro, BR)
observation_list = owm.weather_around_coords(-22.57, -43.12)
