bastibe / meteogram

Grabbing weather data from the web and plotting a meteogram.

Hi, I'm Bastian, dad, hobby photographer, software developer, and signal processing scientist in Germany.

Both photography and programming are about telling stories. Expressing a complex algorithm in simple terms, or stunning vista in a compelling picture. Finding order and simplicity in a chaotic scene or code base. Therein lies the challenge and joy of life.

meteogram's Issues

Add horizontal lines for both vertical axes

URL request error.

Tried to execute your script today. It seems that yr.no site removed the version 1.8 of the api. The latest one is version 1.9. I have change the api version to latest one and tested again. But it still resulted in following error:-

$ python meteogram_auto.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "meteogram_auto.py", line 288, in <module>
    fig = plot_meteogram('Oldenburg, Germany')
  File "meteogram_auto.py", line 246, in plot_meteogram
    latLng = retrieve_position_openmapquest(address)
  File "meteogram_auto.py", line 78, in retrieve_position_openmapquest
    request = urlopen(complete_url)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 162, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 471, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 581, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 509, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 443, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 589, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Again I have changed the request line with request = urlopen(complete_url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}) but it produces the same error.

limit data range to ~5 days

More than five days does not make much sense and precipitation data is only available for about five days.

improve precipitation plot

Include min/max precipitation data

improve cloud plot to look nicer

add wind plot
