Author: Brian Vanderwende

Details

The weather generator features the following tunable parameters:

  • Number of days to forecast

  • Chance of precipitation on any particular day

These parameters are set for each city in JSON format in the "cities" directory.

How to Run

Simply execute the script:

./wxgen.py

The forecasts will be written to files in the "forecasts" directory:
