Python Weather API Challenge

WeatherPy: Created scatter plots of the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator to prove that the weather does indeed get hotter as we approach the equator.

Scatter plots showcase:

  • Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
  • Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
  • Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
  • Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

Linear regressions were ran on each relationship for the Northern hemisphere (greater than or equal to 0 degrees latitude) and Southern hemisphere (less than 0 degrees latitude) separately:

  • Northern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
  • Northern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
  • Northern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
  • Northern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude
  • Southern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
  • Southern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
  • Southern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
  • Southern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

VacationPy: Use jupyter-gmaps and the Google Places API to create a heatmap of these cities, filter the cities with an ideal weather condition and find the nearest hotel.
