Python Weather API Libraries offer an interface for accessing weather data from different APIs. Easy-to-use functions help fetch current weather, historical weather data, and weather forecasts. It supports different languages and units of measurement.  


Python Weather API Libraries can retrieve weather data for specific and multiple locations. It can retrieve information like humidity, precipitation, temperature, wind speed, and UV index. It offers customization options for specifying the level of granularity or detail of weather data required. It can handle exceptions or errors during the API request process. We can integrate with weather APIs like Dark Sky, Weatherbit, OpenWeatherMap, and AccuWeather.  


Here are the 7 best Python Weather API Libraries for helping developers: 

wttr.in: 

  • Is a weather service that offers weather data using a command-line interface.  
  • Allows you to retrieve current forecast and weather data for any location using a simple HTTP request.  
  • Offers various customization options like the language used for the data, the ability to specify the weather data format, and more.  
  • Supports various weather-related queries like sunsets, moon phases, and sunrises.
