Coding - WeatherBot

The need for WeatherBot

WeatherBot was created out of a need to provide weather conditions and forecasts to people on an IRC/SILC channel. It was originally based on the Geo::Weather perl module until JohnnyM brought in the code to parse XML-based weather data available from here. Thanks JohnnyM!

Supported Functionality

Currently WeatherBot supports two main commands, both of which are listed below.

• weather <city name>, <state abbrev>: Gives you the current weather conditions in the city you provided. Currently the cities are limited to US cities only but will soon be expanding to cities from all over the world.
• forecast [number of days] <city name>, <state abbrev>: Sends you a private message containing weather forecasts for as many days as you specify. If you do not specify a number of days, it defaults to 1. The maximum number of days you can specify is 5; any more and it defaults to 5.
