WeatherApp - Real-Time Weather Data to InfluxDB

Overview

WeatherApp is a Java application that fetches real-time weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API for several cities in Italy, processes the temperature data, and stores it in an InfluxDB database. This allows users to track the temperature of different cities over time. The data can be later visualized and analyzed using Grafana or any other time-series visualization tool.

Features

• Fetches real-time weather data (temperature) from OpenWeatherMap API.
• Supports multiple cities (e.g., Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, and Turin).
• Stores the fetched data into InfluxDB for time-series analysis.
• Automatically inserts temperature data into InfluxDB at regular intervals.
• Designed for simplicity and scalability; easy to extend to more cities or other weather data parameters.

Prerequisites

• Java 11+: The application is built with Java and requires a JDK to run.
• InfluxDB: A time-series database to store the weather data.
• OpenWeatherMap API Key: Sign up for a free API key from OpenWeatherMap to fetch weather data.
• Grafana (Optional): For visualizing the data stored in InfluxDB.
