Project X #13 ~ Build a Real-Time Weather App with Python and Flet

Build a Weather App with Python: Learn to Fetch Live Data, Display Weather Info, and Integrate Interactive Maps Using Flet and OpenWeather API.

This month in Project X, I’ll walk you through how to build a simple but really useful weather app using the new Flet framework — a Python tool that helps you create interactive user interfaces.

This has been one of the most requested frameworks to cover in my content and after building out a few projects I can see why. There’s no need for HTML, CSS or Javascript as everything is done with Flet, a framework built for Python based around Flutter.

This project is perfect to get you guys immersed in a few areas. One, you get to learn a new GUI framework that’s taking the world by storm, people are loving it. And two, you get to work with API’s making requests and parsing the information we get back.

If you’ve ever wanted to make an app that shows live weather updates in a clean, easy-to-read way, while building maps into an app then this is a great place to start.

The app will connect to the OpenWeather API to grab the latest weather based on what the user types in. It’ll show the temperature, humidity, and general weather conditions, plus display the location on a map using all free API’s.

We’re aiming to build something here that not only works well but also looks good and is simple to use. You’re not only the developer for this project, but also the UI designer.

This is honestly one of the many reasons I absolutly love building out GUI’s and apps. The whole design part is a lot of fun for me as I can take an idea from start to finish. I get to work with design, logic, API’s. Pretty much the whole shebang.

By the end of this project, you’ll know how to pull live data from an API, build a smooth user interface, and make the app update on the spot when someone searches for a different city all using Flet.

It doesn’t matter if you’re just getting started with building apps or you’ve been coding for a while — this project will give you real experience with APIs and building interactive apps from the ground up.

I’ll link the previous Project X here where we built a Stock Price Predictor with LSTMs for future reference.
