It lets you fetch current weather, hourly forecasts, and daily summaries (sunrise, sunset, temperature, humidity, and many other parameters) by latitude and longitude. The client uses aiohttp for non-blocking HTTP requests, mashumaro for fast data deserialization, and orjson for efficient JSON parsing.\n\nYou instantiate an OpenMeteo client, call its forecast() method with coordinates and the parameters you want, and receive structured forecast objects. The async design makes it suitable for applications that need to fetch weather data without blocking other work\u2014typical use cases include weather dashboards, home automation systems, and weather-aware scheduling. The package supports Python 3.11 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. It solves a real problem\u2014async weather data retrieval without authentication\u2014and is well-suited for any Python application that needs weather forecasts. The only caveat is the requirement for Python 3.11+, which rules out older projects."},"id":"open-meteo","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/open-meteo","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/open-meteo.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/open-meteo/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"open-meteo","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asynchronous client for the Open-Meteo API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":77294,"position":14540,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
