Conky Weather Forecast Python Script

[Bruce M.]

This is for you killerwhale65

Location: Belgium

I just struck me that when I saw your screenshot that your conky is in Dutch.

Maybe you can translate the portions of the script necessary to get Conky weather into Dutch.

Like:
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Maandag Dinsdag Woensdag Donderdag Vrijdag Zaterdag Zondag
and what the short form equivalents would be.

Now I got really curious and wanted to see just how close BabelFish is. If I'm right your going to see some really funny stuff in there:

0	Tornado			Tornado
1	Tropical Storm		Tropisch Onweer
2	Hurricane		Orkaan
3	Severe Thunderstorms	Strenge Onweersbuien
4	Thunderstorms		Onweersbuien

Should have known to go to wikipedia!

Here goes...

V = 0.836 x B^(3/2) m/s
V = 0.836 x B^(3/2) x 3.6 kph
B = (1.196172249 x (V x 0.278)) ^(2/3)

That would make 20kph = 3.53 => 4 B ... sounds about right?

I suppose it needs to be rounded up to the nearest whole number? Worse case on the scale then...

Edit: In python that would be:

beaufont=str(int(math.ceil(math.pow(float(windspeedkph)*0.332270069, 2.0/3.0))))

WoW! Your good! But can it be incorporated into the script?

WoW! Your good! But can it be incorporated into the script?

Won't be long

Edit:

UPDATE - the script now includes a beaufont scale option for wind speeds and now displays sunrise and sunset times in 24 hour clock format. Let me know if there are any issues, as this change was surprising quick to do, must be the coffee!

Dev history for this below:

• 28/07/2008 Added --beaufont option to convert wind speeds to the beaufont scale, works in templates too
• 28/07/2008 Updated sunrise and sunset times to be output in 24 hour format to save space

Don't format to add update the registration details for the weather.com xoap service before you use it!

Cheers

I'm going to test this awesome script, but I get this bunch of errors:

XOAP_PAR and XOAP_KEY are set to the pair I just received (btw: have I to sign to other products other than XML Data Feed?)
conkyrc's are the ones you provide, only the location is changed.

Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
G.

Do you get any data output? do the current conditions display (if you are requesting them?)

You probably need to post your conkyrc file, but I think you are asking the script to get forecast details it can't find. This is usually because a --startday or --endday is set to greater than 4. The forecasting of the xoap service does not exceed 4 days into the future.

If that's not the reason please post your conkyrc

Hope that helps

It worked, in conkyrc-test --startday was 0 and --endday was 7. Now it's time to explore all of its capabilities..
I will translate the strings in italian - btw: what about providing separate scripts for locales?

Thanks,
G.

Hello Guys,

Thanks for all adaptations. I think the best for the hour-system is indeed to base it on the system time format (to prevent too many options). As for the beaufort speeds: i will test it tonight.

@kaivalagi: it's beaufoRt, not beafoNt

@Bruce:
Your weekdays are correctly translated. For the short ones, just take the first 2 letters of each one.
For the wind directions its pretty simple:
North => Noord
East => Oost
South => Zuid
West => West
So, N and W can stay, E=>O and S=>Z.

As for the other translations, i think they are 90% correct, but i will correct them later when i have some time.

Great work!

Matt

ok,

I did some testing.

The --night mode changed nothing to my current output from today (may be a coincidence), it did change the precipitation chance and wind direction for the forecast, may be interesting to expand the forecast with night conditions.

The --beaufont mode needs to be changed to --beaufort (like said above), but works fine. I dont think it has a unit other then "beaufort", and i have only seen it displayd as a number, without unit behind it.

24H format is not correct, it displays 09:36 now (before 09.36PM), but that should be 21:36.

${font arrows:size=15}${execi 3600 python /home/matt/conky/conkyForecast.py --location=BEXX0008 --startday=1 --endday=4 --datatype=BF}$font$color

does seem to output to rectangles between each arrow?

--night only has an effect for forecast data, as I posted previously day and night xml is only there for forecast data, not for current conditions.

I'll update the --beaufont option to be spelt properly when I next update the script for something else...like the 24hr clock output...apparently %H doesn't format hours in 24 hour mode...according to the python docs it should have worked...maybe I missed something

When I run "python /home/matt/conky/conkyForecast.py --location=BEXX0008 --startday=1 --endday=4 --datatype=BF" on the command line I get:

p o d c

Which should by all accounts translate to 4 arrows when output using the arrows font. Do you get this output on the command line? If you do you may want to check the font you have installed with something like gnome-specimen...
