The Perfect Vacation & Weather Forecaster

The Perfect Vacation

I will demonstrate my skills in working with weather data to plan future vacations. Use jupyter-gmaps and the Google Places API for this part of this assignment.

To complete this part of the assignment,I will need to do the following:

• Create a heat map that displays the humidity for every city from Part I

• Narrow down the DataFrame to find your ideal weather condition. For example:

  • A max temperature lower than 80 degrees but higher than 70.

  • Wind speed less than 10 mph.

  • Zero cloudiness.

  • Drop any rows that don't contain all three conditions. You want to be sure the weather is ideal.

  • Note: Feel free to adjust to your specifications but be sure to limit the number of rows returned by your API requests to a reasonable number.

• Using Google Places API to find the first hotel for each city located within 5000 meters of your coordinates.

• Plot the hotels on top of the humidity heatmap with each pin containing the Hotel Name, City, and Country.

  

Weather Forecaster

In this example, I will be creating a Python script to visualize the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator. To accomplish this, I will be utilizing a simple Python library, the OpenWeatherMap API, and a little common sense to create a representative model of weather across world cities.

The first requirement is to create a series of scatter plots to showcase the following relationships:

• Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
• Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
• Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
• Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

After each plot, add a sentence or two explaining what the code is analyzing.

The second requirement is to run linear regression on each relationship. This time, separate the plots into Northern Hemisphere (greater than or equal to 0 degrees latitude) and Southern Hemisphere (less than 0 degrees latitude):

• Northern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
• Southern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude
• Northern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
• Southern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude
• Northern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
• Southern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude
• Northern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude
• Southern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

After each pair of plots, I will take the time to explain what the linear regression is modeling. For example, describe any relationships you notice and any other analysis I may have.

• Narrow down the DataFrame to find your ideal weather condition. For example:

  • A max temperature lower than 80 degrees but higher than 70.
