`ìceweather` is a Python 3.7+ package for obtaining Icelandic weather information and forecasts from
the [Icelandic Met Office](https://en.vedur.is/) (*Veðurstofan*). Uses the xmlweather API ([documentation in Icelandic](https://vedur.is/um-vi/vefurinn/xml/)).
## Installation
```sh
pip install iceweather
```
## Examples
### Observations
Get latest weather observations from the nearest weather station:
```python
>>> r = observation_for_closest(64.133097, -21.898145)
>>> pprint(r)
{'results': [{'D': 'SSV',
'F': '3',
'FG': '7',
'FX': '4',
'N': '',
'P': '1001',
'R': '0.2',
'RH': '75',
'RTE': '',
'SED': '',
'SNC': '',
'SND': '',
'T': '9.3',
'TD': '5.1',
'V': '',
'W': '',
'err': '',
'id': '1',
'link': 'http://www.vedur.is/vedur/athuganir/kort/hofudborgarsvaedid/#group=100&station=1',
'name': 'Reykjavík',
'time': '2019-09-12 13:00:00',
'valid': '1'}]}
```
Keys are the following:
| Key | |
| ----- |-----------------------------------|
| F | Wind speed (m/s) |
| FX | Top wind speed (m/s) |
| FG | Top wind gust (m/s) |
| D | Wind direction |
| T | Air temperature (°C) |
| W | Weather description |
| V | Visibility (km) |
| N | Cloud cover (%) |
| P | Air pressure |
| RH | Humidity (%) |
| SNC | Snow description |
| SND | Snow depth |
| SED | Snow type |
| RTE | Road temperature (°C) |
| TD | Dew limit (°C) |
| R | Cumulative precipitation (mm/h) |
```python
>>> observation_for_station(1) # Reykjavík
...
```
See stations.py for a list of all weather stations in Iceland and their unique IDs.
### Forecasts
```python
forecast_for_closest(64.133097, -21.898145)
...
forecast_for_station(1) # Reykjavík
```
### Human-readable weather descriptions
Request a descriptive text from the weather API:
```python
# Human-readable Icelandic-language weather forecast for Iceland's Capital Region
>>> forecast_text(3)
{'results': [{'content': 'Suðvestan 5-10 m/s í dag en 8-13 á morgun. Skúrir og hiti 5 til 10 stig.',
'creation': '2019-09-12 10:20:32',
'id': '3',
'title': 'Veðurhorfur á höfuðborgarsvæðinu',
'valid_from': '2019-09-12 12:00:00',
'valid_to': '2019-09-14 00:00:00'}]}
```

All functions accept the `lang` keyword parameter. Supported languages are `is` and `en` for Icelandic or English results, respectively.
