When prompting the user you must always include text which lets the user know what should be inputted.

Update the weather.py file to do the following:

• Using separate prompts, prompt the user to enter the latitude of the weathe
• r station and the longitude of the weather station
• Use the latitude and longitude to retrieve the following information:
• Station Name
• Current Conditions eg. Sunny, Partly Cloudy etc.
• Temperature in Fahrenheit
• Elevation
• Display the output as follows:

WEATHER.PY FILE:

 

import bs4, requests

 

try:

 

url = 'https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?'

 

latlong = 'lat=46.8837&lon=-102.7817'

 

# Combines url and zip

 

res = requests.get(url + latlong)

 

# Checks for error, and raises it as necessary

 

res.raise_for_status()

 

soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')

 

# Select for station

 

elems = soup.select('#current-conditions > div.panel-heading > div > h2')

 

# Retrieves station information and prints it out

 

stationName = elems[0].text

 

print(stationName)

 

except Exception as ex:

 

# Print out any error messages

 

print('There was a problem retrieving the information')

 

The following are some urls with the latitude and longitude of weather stations to test your program:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=32.73016&lon=-117.19518

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=46.999&lon=-102.8833

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.417&lon=-111.8315

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.2607&lon=-95.9403

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=30.4391&lon=-81.703

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.3108&lon=-105.5903

Step-by-step explanation

• After entering latitude and longitude wait for some time to see the result.
• Use given latitude and longitudes for testing the code.

Code:

import bs4, requests


try:
	# website url to retrive weather station info
	url = "https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?"
	
	# taking input for latitude and longitude
	lat = input("Enter latitude of the location (Ex: 31.7798):  ")
	lon = input("\nEnter longitude of the location (Ex: -106.3763):  ")
	
	# comines lat and lon
	latlong = 'lat='+lat+'&lon='+lon
	
	# Combines url and zip
	res = requests.get(url + latlong)
	
	# Checks for error, and raises it as necessary
	res.raise_for_status()
	soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, "html.parser")
	
	# Select for station
	elems = soup.select("#current-conditions > div.panel-heading > div > h2")
	
	# Retrieves station information
	stationName = elems[0].text
	
	# Select for current conditions
	elems = soup.select("#current_conditions-summary > p.myforecast-current")
	
	# Retrieves current conditions information
	condition = elems[0].text
	
	# Select for current temperature
	elems = soup.select("#current_conditions-summary > p.myforecast-current-lrg")
	
	# Retrieves current temperature in fahrenheit
	tempInF = elems[0].text
	
	# Select for elevation
	elems = soup.select("#current-conditions > div.panel-heading > div > span")
	
	# Retrieves elevation information
	idx = elems[0].text.find("Elev:")
	elevation = elems[0].text[idx + 6 : -1]
	
	# Print all retrieved information using string format method
	print("\nStation:{:<20}{}".format('', stationName))
	print("Current Conditions:{:<9}{}".format('', condition))
	print("Current Temperature:{:<8}{}".format('', tempInF))
	print("Elevation:{:<18}{}".format('', elevation))


except Exception as ex:
	# Print out any error messages
	print("There was a problem retrieving the information")

Output:
