A Django-based weather information application that fetches weather data from OpenWeather API.

1. Clone the repository

git clone <repository-url>
cd weather-project

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it

python -m venv venv
# On Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# On Unix or MacOS
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create a .env file in the project root with the following variables:

OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_django_secret_key_here
DEBUG=True
ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost,127.0.0.1

5. Run migrations

python manage.py migrate

To get weather information for a city:

python manage.py getweather "city name" [--units metric|imperial]

Examples:

# Get weather in Celsius (default)
python manage.py getweather "London"

# Get weather in Fahrenheit
python manage.py getweather "New York" --units imperial

Features:

• Temperature in both Celsius (metric) and Fahrenheit (imperial)
• Feels-like temperature
• Humidity percentage
• Weather conditions
• Wind speed (m/s for metric, mph for imperial)
• Response caching (10-minute cache to avoid repeated API calls)
• Input validation for city names
• Detailed error messages

• Never commit the .env file to version control
• Keep your API keys and secret keys secure
• In production, set DEBUG=False and configure ALLOWED_HOSTS appropriately
