Several functions for calculation of meteorological variables.

Calculations were implemented based on publicly available formulas.

Implemented calculations:

1. **Dew Point** is the temperature at which dew forms.

2. **Heat Index** is an index that combines air temperature and relative

   humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived equivalent

   temperature.

3. **Wind Chill** is the lowering of body temperature due to the

   passing-flow of lower-temperature air.

4. **Feels Like temperature** or Apparent temperature is the temperature

   equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air

   temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.

Also **Temp** class is available to convert temperature between Celsius,

Fahrenheit and Kelvin. It is also can be mixed with floats for basic math

operations.

Requirements

------------

* Python 2.7 or 3.2+

Install

-------

.. code-block:: shell

    $ pip install meteocalc

Usage

-----

..note:

    Any input Temperature value can be provided in different units:

    ``Temp(20, 'c')  # c - celsius, f - fahrenheit, k - kelvin``

.. code-block:: python

    from meteocalc import Temp, dew_point, heat_index, wind_chill, feels_like

    # create input temperature in different units

    t = Temp(20, 'c')  # c - celsius, f - fahrenheit, k - kelvin

    t2 = Temp(60, 'f')

    # calculate Dew Point

    dp = dew_point(temperature=t, humidity=56)

    # calculate Heat Index

    hi = heat_index(temperature=t2, humidity=42)

    print('Dew Point in celsius:', dp.c)

    print('Dew Point in fahrenheit:', dp.f)

    print('Heat Index in kelvin:', hi.k)

    # calculate Wind Chill

    wc = wind_chill(temperature=15, wind_speed=25)

    print('Wind Chill in fahrenheit:', wc.f)

    # calculate Feels Like temperature

    fl = feels_like(temperature=40, humidity=40, wind_speed=5)

    print('Feels Like in fahrenheit:', fl.f)
