Weather Mood Recommender

Description: Create a program that suggests activities based on the weather.

Skills practiced: - String parsing - Conditional logic - Dictionary usage

Sample code:

import fetch_my_weather
import random

# Activities based on weather conditions
activities = {
    "sunny": ["Go for a walk", "Have a picnic", "Visit the park", "Go cycling"],
    "rainy": ["Read a book", "Watch a movie", "Visit a museum", "Cook a new recipe"],
    "cloudy": ["Go shopping", "Visit friends", "Go to a café", "Take photographs"],
    "snowy": ["Build a snowman", "Go sledding", "Make hot chocolate", "Stay cozy inside"],
    "cold": ["Visit a museum", "Go to a coffee shop", "Try a new restaurant", "Go ice skating"],
    "hot": ["Go swimming", "Have ice cream", "Go to the beach", "Stay in air conditioning"]
}

def recommend_activity(location=""):
    # Get weather data using JSON format and metadata for better handling
    response = fetch_my_weather.get_weather(
        location=location, 
        format="json",
        with_metadata=True
    )

    # Extract data and metadata
    metadata = response.metadata
    weather_data = response.data

    # Check if using mock data and notify if there was an error
    if metadata.is_mock and metadata.error_message:
        print(f"Note: Using mock weather data. ({metadata.error_message})")

                condition = "cold"
            elif temperature > 25:
                condition = "hot"
            else:
                condition = random.choice(["sunny", "cloudy", "rainy"])

        # Get random activity for the condition
        if condition in activities:

            return f"Based on the {condition} weather ({temperature}°C), you could: {activity}"
        else:
            return "No specific recommendation for this weather."
    else:
        return "Could not get weather data to make recommendations."

# Location to check
my_location = "London"

# Get and print the recommendation
print(f"Weather activity recommendation for {my_location}:")
recommendation = recommend_activity(my_location)
print(recommendation)

Extensions: - Add more specific weather conditions and activities - Allow users to add their own activities to the list - Factor in the time of day for recommendations
