Rainy Road

This script will show in a map if it is raining in a route between two cities.

It uses mainly osmnx (with networkx). You can get the app that uses this script as an server here.

Getting Started

Download, install requirements, set the OpenWeather key and run the script with:

git clone https://github.com/rtalis/rainy_road.git

cd rainy_road

pip install -r requirements.txt

export OW_API_KEY="YOUAPIKEY"

flask run

You can get an OW API key for free here.

Access the server in http://127.0.0.1:5000/generate_map?start_location=CITYONENAME,STATE&end_location=CITYTWONAME,STATE or install gunicorn for a production enviroment.

You can also try the Rainy Road App, it uses this server as an backend.

How it works

Set the names of the cities and a openwheather api key, it will find the shortest route between the places and show if it is raining on the road. The script uses osmnx to create a map, geopy for translate names to coordinates, networkx and scikit-learn for route, openweather for wheather data and folium to show it in a browser.
