SimpleWeather v2.5.0

SimpleWeather v2.5.0

SimpleWeather v2.5.0 release

• Added functionality where you can get the WindDirection data as a string (this can be WindDirectionShort or WindDirectionLong
• Updated MoonPhase proberty from double to string
• Added missing parameters in the CurrentWeather class
• Fixed inaccuracies with PrecipitationProbability parameter

Methods

There are two asynchronous methods which return an Object containing all the weather data for a given city:
Current weather data:

GetCurrentWeather(string city, string units)

Weather forecast data:

GetWeatherForecast(string city, string units)
GetWeatherForecast(double lat, double lon, string units)

Prerequisites

In order for the library to work you need to have an appsettings.json file containing your OpenWeatherMap's API KEY in your project's output directory with the following parameter:

{
  "openWeatherApiKey": "YourKeyGoesHere"
}

Example usage

using SimpleWeather;

var weatherController = new WeatherController();
var currentWeather = await weatherController.GetCurrentWeather("Lovech", "metric");
var weatherForecast = await weatherController.GetWeatherForecast("Lovech");

Console.WriteLine($"The current weather in {currentWeather.City} is {Math.Round(currentWeather.Main.Temperature)}°C degrees with {currentWeather.Weather.Description}.\n");

Console.WriteLine("The weather forecast for the next 7 days is:\n");

foreach (var day in weatherForecast.Daily)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"The weather for: {day.DT.ToString("dd.MM.yyyy")}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Min temperature: {Math.Round(day.Temperature.Min)}°C");
    Console.WriteLine($"Max temperature: {Math.Round(day.Temperature.Max)}°C");
    Console.WriteLine($"Wind speed will be: {day.WindSpeed} m/s");
    Console.WriteLine($"Wind direction will be: {day.WindDirectionLong} ({day.WindDirectionShort})");
    Console.WriteLine($"The weather conditions will be: {day.Weather.Description}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Probability for precipitation: {day.PrecipitationProbability}%");
    Console.WriteLine($"The moon phase will be: {day.MoonPhase}\n");
}

This will produce the following result:

The current weather in Lovech is 17°C degrees with clear sky.

The weather forecast for the next 7 days is:

The weather for: 15.04.2022
Min temperature: 9°C
Max temperature: 22°C
Wind speed will be: 2.2 m/s
Wind direction will be: South-southwest (SSW)
The weather conditions will be: clear sky
Probability for precipitation: 0%
The moon phase will be: Full Moon
.
