About :

This project presents a dynamic weather

application developed using Python's Tkinter
for its graphical user interface, the
OpenWeather API for accessing real-time
weather data, and MySQL for efficient storage
and retrieval of historical weather records.
The application enables users to check
comprehensive weather details, including
temperature, humidity, wind speed, visibility,
and atmospheric pressure for any city
worldwide. Designed to prioritize user-
friendliness and responsiveness, the app
provides a seamless experience through
intuitive controls and visually appealing
layouts. This project serves as both a
practical utility for users and an educational
platform for understanding API integration,
GUI design, and database management.
Objective of this
project :

The primary objective of this project is to

develop a user-friendly application that
allows users to access real-time weather
information for any location. By
integrating the OpenWeather API and
utilizing Python's Tkinter for the
graphical interface, the project aims to
provide a seamless experience for users
to check weather conditions efficiently.
Additional objectives include enabling data
persistence for offline access and
implementing a secure user
authentication system to personalize the
app for individual users.

integration, database handling, and GUI development.
•Practical Utility: Provides real value by offering
personalized weather forecasts.
Technologystack
• Python: Main programming language
used for backend logic and GUI
development.

• Tkinter: Python library for

creating the graphical user
interface (GUI).

• OpenWeather API: Provides

real-time weather data for different
cities.

• MySQL: Used to store user data

(credentials) and saved cities.

• JSON: Data format for exchanging

weather information between the app
and the API.

• Requests Library: Python library to make

HTTP requests to the OpenWeather API for
fetching weather data.
Limitations :

1. Internet Dependency: Requires an active internet

connection for fetching weather data.
2. API Restrictions: Limited features in the free
OpenWeather API tier (e.g., fewer requests or data
access).
3. Accuracy Issues: Weather data accuracy depends on
the OpenWeather API, which may not be perfect.
4. Basic Forecasting: Lacks detailed forecasts like
hourly predictions or radar data.
5. Platform Dependency: Tkinter-based UI may not be
consistent across different operating systems.
6. Simple User Management: Limited authentication
features (e.g., no multi-factor authentication).
7. Local Database Risks: Data storage with MySQL can be
complex and prone to loss without proper backup.
8. Data Overwrites: New data may overwrite
previous weather information without proper
handling.
9. Error Handling: Limited handling for network
failures or API errors.
10. Scalability Concerns: Performance could
degrade with a growing user base and data size.
 Features:

1.Real-time Weather Updates: Fetches accurate, up-to-date

weather information for any city using the OpenWeather API.
2.City-Based Search: Allows users to search for weather data by
entering a city name.
3.Detailed Weather Data: Displays temperature, humidity, wind
speed, pressure, visibility, and weather conditions.
4.User-friendly GUI: Designed with Tkinter for an intuitive and
easy-to-navigate interface.
5.Data Storage: Saves weather data for selected cities into a
MySQL database for future reference.
6.Error Handling: Provides error messages for invalid city names
or API-related issues.
7.Save and Load Functionality: Enables users to save weather
details locally and reload them when needed.
8.Customizable Cities List: Predefined list of cities to improve
usability and ensure correct input.
9.Refresh Weather Data: Offers a feature to refresh the weather
information for updated details.
10.Portable and Lightweight: The application is lightweight and
can run on any system with Python and the required libraries
installed.
