Hot to use forecastiopy module to retrieve maximum temperature, minimum temperature and precipitation information for all daily data. Raw

# 'units', 'lang' and 'exclude' options are optional but it is nice to ensure that
# the reply comes in correct language and unit. Setting the 'exclude' option
# reduces the reply size. If ou don't need the data, don't ask for it.
fio = ForecastIO.ForecastIO(apikey,
units=ForecastIO.ForecastIO.UNITS_SI,
lang=ForecastIO.ForecastIO.LANG_ENGLISH,
exclude=('hourly','minutely', 'flags', 'alerts'),
latitude=Lisbon[0], longitude=Lisbon[1])
# check if daily data is present in the reply, just in case...
if fio.has_daily() is True:
daily = FIODaily.FIODaily(fio)
for day in xrange(0, daily.days()):
print 'Day', day+1
# 'day' is the index of the day and day+1 is how many days
# the future.
# 'temperatureMax' is the dictionary of the key of the
# desired value
