creating a weather app using python can be a fun and educational project. in this tutorial, we will build a simple weather application that fetches weather data from an api and displays it to the user. we'll use the `requests` library to interact with the api and `tkinter` for the graphical user interface (gui).

step-by-step guide to creating a weather app

#### prerequisites

1. **python installed**: make sure you have python installed on your computer. you can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. **api key**: we will use the openweathermap api, so you need to sign up at [openweathermap](https://openweathermap.org/api) and get an api key.
3. **required libraries**: install the `requests` library if you haven't already. you can do this using pip:



#### step 1: set up the basic structure

create a new python file, e.g., `weather_app.py`, and set up the basic imports:



#### step 2: create the gui

we will create a simple gui using `tkinter`:



#### step 3: fetch weather data

now, we need to create a function to fetch weather data from the openweathermap api:



#### step 4: update the gui with weather info

create a function to update the gui with the fetched weather information:



#### step 5: combine everything

combine all the parts in your `weather_app.py`:



#### step 6: run your application

replace `your_api_key` with your actual openweathermap api key. save the file and run it using:



conclusion

congratulations! you have built a simple weather application in python using `tkinter` for the gui and the openweathermap api for fetching weather data. you can enhance this application further by adding features like saving favorite cities, showing a 5-day forecast, or presenting weather data in different units. enjoy coding!
