Weather App C++

Weather Data Visualization Application

A C++ university project developed for the Object-Oriented Programming module at University of London. This application visualizes historical weather temperature data using candlestick and stacked bar charts.

Features

• Display temperature data in candlestick format
• Plot candlestick charts for temperature visualization
• Plot stacked bar charts for temperature ranges
• Temperature data filtering capabilities
• Multiple timeframe views (yearly and monthly)
• Temperature prediction based on historical patterns

Installation

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler (C++11 or later)
• Make (optional but recommended)

Building from Source

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/weather-app-cpp.git
cd weather-app-cpp

2. Compile the source files:

# Using g++
g++ -std=c++11 *.cpp -o weather_app

Usage

1. Run the compiled executable:

./weather_app

2. Follow the interactive menu to:
   • Select a country
   • Choose timeframe (yearly/monthly)
   • Set temperature filters
   • View different visualizations
   • Make temperature predictions

Data Format

The application expects a CSV file with the following format:

• First row: headers with country names
• First column: dates in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Temperature values in Celsius

Project Structure

• main.cpp - Entry point
• WeatherAppMenu.cpp/h - User interface handling
• Candlestick.cpp/h - Candlestick data structure
• CandlesticksCollection.cpp/h - Collection management
• CsvReader.cpp/h - Data file parsing
