🌦 Raspberry Pi Weather Station


Display realtime weather data in your little Raspberry Pi.


## The Problem

Before finishing the software of my cloud drive, I'll have to make use of my little Raspverry Pi for some cool stuff.

## The Solution

I've made a weather station that will show weather info and refresh regularly after a certain amount of time.

### What's inside the weather station

- current weather

- date and timezone

- weather forecast of the whole day

- sunrise. sunset, moonrise, and moonset time of the day

- moon phase of the day

- random tech news title from The New York Times

- currency conversion rate from USD to MYR

- Air quality level

- lunar date

## ⌨️ Setup

If you want to run the website on your Raspberry Pi:

1. Install any Linux distro, as long as it's capable of running Python.

2. Buy yourself a 3.5 inches display and install it to your RBPi.

3. Install Python3 and pygame >= 2.0.0.

4. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/melvinchia3636/weatherStation`.

5. Run the script by typing `python3 main.py`.

9. Enjoy!

## 💡 Inspirations 

This project was inspired by [E-Paper Weather Station](https://projects-raspberry.com/raspberry-pi-e-paper-weather-station/). Unfortunately I was too poor and didn't have enough money to buy the e-paper display.
