# meteo
Meteo is a Go client library for the weather and meteorological forecast from [Yr](https://www.yr.no/en).
> Weather forecast from Yr, delivered by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NRK.
# Usage
You must register your user agent string in the [YR.NO service](https://developer.yr.no/doc/TermsOfService/) and your user name at the [GeoNames.org](https://www.geonames.org/login).
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/qba73/meteo"
)
func main() {
// Export GEO_USERNAME Env Var (you registered at geonames.org)
// Get current weather for given location.
weather, err := meteo.GetWeather("Vilnius,LT")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println(weather)
// Cloudy 4.2°C
fmt.Println(weather.Summary)
// cloudy
fmt.Println(weather.Temp)
// 4.2
}
```
The code sample below shows a basic example of how the meteo package can fetch weather statuses concurrently.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/qba73/meteo"
)
func main() {
start := time.Now()
ch := make(chan string)
locations := []string{
"Vilnius,LT", "Dublin,IE", "London,UK", "Berlin,DE",
"Belfast,UK", "Castlebar,IE", "Killarney,IE",
"Warsaw,PL", "Lodz,PL", "Vienna,AT"}
for _, loc := range locations {
go getWeather(loc, ch)
}
for range locations {
fmt.Println(<-ch)
}
fmt.Printf("%.2fs elapsed\n", time.Since(start).Seconds())
}
func getWeather(location string, ch chan<- string) {
start := time.Now()
weather, err := meteo.GetWeather(location)
if err != nil {
ch <- fmt.Sprint(err)
return
}
sec := time.Since(start).Seconds()
ch <- fmt.Sprintf("%.2fs Location: %s, Weather: %s", sec, location, weather)
}
```
