"What's the weather like as we approach the equator?"

Part I - WeatherPy

• I created a Python script to visualize the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator. I utilized a simple Python library, the OpenWeatherMap API to create a representative model of weather across world cities.

• Created a series of scatter plots to show the following relationships:

• Temperature (F) vs. Latitude

• Humidity (%) vs. Latitude

• Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude

• Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude

** Temperature vs Latitide Graph Image

• Conducted linear regression analyses on each relationship, but separated the data into the Northern Hemisphere (greater than or equal to 0 degrees latitude) and the 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

** I also created multiple linear regression plots.

** The Southern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude Graph Image

Part II - VacationPy

• Used jupyter-gmaps and the Google Places API.

• Created a heat map that displayed the humidity for every city from the part I.

** Humidity Heat Map

• Narrowed down the DataFrame to find my ideal weather condition and dropped any rows that didn't contain all three conditions.

• Narrow down the cities with Max Temp > 65F, < 85F
• Narrow down the cities with Humidity < 55%
• Narrow down the cities with Ideal Wind Speed < 10mph

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

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