# VERSION

# DESCRIPTION

Weather::Meteo provides an interface to open-meteo.com
for historical weather data from 1940.

# METHODS

## new

    my $meteo = Weather::Meteo->new();
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    $ua->env_proxy(1);
    $meteo = Weather::Meteo->new(ua => $ua);

    my $weather = $meteo->weather({ latitude => 51.34, longitude => 1.42, date => '2022-12-25' });
    my @snowfall = @{$weather->{'hourly'}->{'snowfall'}};

    print 'Number of cms of snow: ', $snowfall[1], "\n";

## weather

    use Geo::Location::Point;

    my $ramsgate = Geo::Location::Point->new({ latitude => 51.34, longitude => 1.42 });
    # Print snowfall at 1AM on Christmas morning in Ramsgate
    $weather = $meteo->weather($ramsgate, '2022-12-25');
    @snowfall = @{$weather->{'hourly'}->{'snowfall'}};

    print 'Number of cms of snow: ', $snowfall[1], "\n";

    Takes an optional argument, tz, which defaults to 'Europe/London'.
    For that to work set TIMEZONEDB_KEY to be your API key from L<https://timezonedb.com>.

## ua

Accessor method to get and set UserAgent object used internally. You
can call _env\_proxy_ for example, to get the proxy information from
environment variables:

    $meteo->ua()->env_proxy(1);

You can also set your own User-Agent object:

    use LWP::UserAgent::Throttled;

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::Throttled->new();
    $ua->throttle('open-meteo.com' => 1);
    $meteo->ua($ua);
