WeatherApp-Tkinter-Python
🌦️ Overview
This is a desktop weather application developed in Python using the Tkinter GUI framework. It fetches real-time weather and forecast data from the OpenWeatherMap API and displays it in an intuitive graphical interface. The app demonstrates the integration of external APIs, geolocation handling, timezone management, and object-oriented design in Python.
🔧 Features
Search for any city to get current weather data
Display temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, and condition
Five-day weather forecast
Automatic timezone detection based on city
Error handling for invalid input and network issues
🛠️ Technologies Used
Python 3.x
Tkinter – GUI development
OpenWeatherMap API – Weather data source
geopy – Geolocation (city to coordinates)
timezonefinder – Timezone detection
pytz – Timezone-aware datetime
requests – API requests
🚀 Getting Started
Prerequisites
Make sure you have Python 3 installed. Then install the required packages:
