Weather App using Python (Tkinter)

📌 Project Overview

This project is a GUI-based Weather Application developed using Python and Tkinter. It allows users to search for real-time weather information of any city using the OpenWeatherMap API. The app also stores searched weather data in a CSV file and provides options to view and clear past search history.

🎯 Key Features

  • Graphical User Interface using Tkinter

  • Real-time weather data fetching

  • Displays:

    • Weather condition
    • Temperature (°C)
    • Humidity (%)
    • Wind speed (m/s)

  • Weather icon display

  • Stores search history in a CSV file

  • View and clear previous weather searches

  • Error handling for invalid city names and empty input

🛠️ Technologies Used

  • Python 3
  • Tkinter (GUI)
  • Requests (API calls)
  • Pillow (PIL) (Image handling)
  • CSV module (Data storage)
  • OpenWeatherMap API

⚙️ Requirements

Ensure you have Python 3 installed. Install the required libraries using:

pip install requests pillow

🔑 API Configuration

  1. Create an account on OpenWeatherMap.
  2. Generate your API key.
  3. Replace the API key in the code:
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

▶️ How to Run the Application

  1. Download or clone the project.
  2. Open a terminal in the project directory.
  3. Run the Python file:
python weather.py
  1. Enter a city name and click Get Weather.

🧠 How It Works

  • The user enters a city name.
  • The app sends a request to the OpenWeatherMap API.
  • Weather details and icons are displayed on the GUI.
  • The data is saved in weather_history.csv.
  • Users can view or clear previous search history.

📸 Sample Output

Weather: Clear sky
Temperature: 30°C
Humidity: 55%
Wind Speed: 4.2 m/s

📈 Future Enhancements

  • Add 5-day weather forecast
  • Improve UI design
  • Add search by GPS location
  • Convert into a desktop executable (.exe)
