Add Graphical Weather Forecasts to Weather Bot #2

Open linusromland opened 1 month ago

linusromland commented 1 month ago

To improve the visual appeal and enhance user understanding of weather updates, we propose adding the capability for the weather bot to generate and send graphical representations of weather forecasts. These graphs will display temperature trends, precipitation types (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and other relevant weather data over a specified period.

Features to Implement:

1. Graphical Representation:

Line graphs for temperature trends over time (hourly and daily forecasts). Bar graphs for precipitation (rain, snow, hail) showing intensity and duration. Icons or color-coded segments to represent different weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, overcast, etc.).

2. Graph Details:

X-axis: Time intervals (hours, days). Y-axis: Temperature (°C/°F), precipitation amount (mm/inches). Legends and labels for clarity (e.g., High, Low, Rain, Snow).

3. Example:

To generate a weather graph in Node.js, you can use the chart.js library along with canvas for server-side rendering.
