Have you ever thought about making an application where a user gives the name of a city and gets live weather updates about that city as an output? Well, in this article I am going to walk you through how to get live weather updates using Python.
How to Get Live Weather Updates using Python?
There are many ways to get live weather conditions for any city using the Python programming language. You can either use the weather APIs provided by third-party apps or you can also scrape the live weather data from a particular city.
If you are using weather APIs provided by any platform, you need to connect to their paid services to work with the weather APIs. But if you use your web scraping skills, it will be free. So in the section below, I’m going to walk you through how to get live weather updates from any city using Python.

Summary
So this is how to can get live weather updates of any city by using your web scraping skills. I hope you liked this article on how to get live weather updates using Python. You can use such ideas while creating a final year project where you can show such an application running on an interactive user interface.
