I launched a new website featuring… …weather data!
Greetings, reader!
Over the few months, I’ve been thinking about new websites I could build around data science because it’s a discipline that I’ve become more interested in. So I’m excited to announce that I’ve launched my newest website today! I couldn’t think of a better name for it, so I just called it Cleveland Weather Data. I spent about a week and a half working on it and it was written in Python, JavaScript and PostgreSQL.
The website is pretty simple. It has a functional submission form where users can enter weather data, including the day of the forecast, the date, the high temp, the low temp and the average temp (in Fahrenheit), and the maximum wind speed. That data is then entered into a database and displayed in tables and graphs on the site. The first 100 entries were entered by me and features Cleveland weather data from the first 100 days of 1991 (courtesy of weather underground and Cleveland.com’s weather database).
Admittedly, the front-end of the website is quite bare (although I’m a full stack developer, I’m becoming more and more interested in back-end stuff), but I’ll try to work on that in the coming months. The graphs, charts, and tables were provided by Google Charts. If you like the site, feel free to use the form and submit your own data. Any contributions (or feedback on the site itself) would be greatly appreciated.
