Key points
- daily=temperature_2m_max,temperature_2m_min
- zip() walks several lists together
- forecast_days=3
params = {"latitude": lat, "longitude": lon, "forecast_days": 3, "timezone": "auto",
"daily": "temperature_2m_max,temperature_2m_min"}
d = requests.get("https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast", params=params, timeout=10).json()["daily"]
for day, hi, lo in zip(d["time"], d["temperature_2m_max"], d["temperature_2m_min"]):
print(f"{day}: {lo}° to {hi}°")Your turn
Add a forecast option to your app.
