Weather-Influenced Divination

Winds of Change is a p5.js-based divination tool that provides weather-derived predictions to help users address their concerns.

Winds of Change uses a comparison of current temperatures in two cities in the world to help provide a prediction regarding your concerns. Using OpenWeatherMap’s API, two random cities are picked from a database of over 200,000 across the globe–just for you–when you submit your concerns. The current temperatures are then retrieved and compared to return your reading.

Try Winds of Change!

Here is link to code for Winds of Change on the p5.js editor site. I’m also listing the code here below if you’re interested in a quick glimpse:

let weather1;
let weather2;
let yesNo;
let diffResult;
function setup() {
createCanvas(0, 0);
let cityID1 = cityIDs1[Math.floor(Math.random() * cityIDs1.length)];
let cityID2 = cityIDs2[Math.floor(Math.random() * cityIDs2.length)];
let randoCity1 = cityID1;
let randoCity2 = cityID2;
let url1 = 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id='+randoCity1+'&appid=8ce6a43858bb4edf7bf19a99608c5df9';

loadJSON(url1, gotData1);
loadJSON(url2, gotData2);
//diffResult = weather1 - weather2;
noLoop();
function gotData1(data1){
//console.log(data1.main.temp);
weather1 = data1.main.temp;
weather1 = Number(data1.main.temp);
console.log(weather1);

}
function gotData2(data2){

console.log(typeof weather2);
console.log(weather2);
diffResult = weather2 - weather1;
console.log(typeof diffResult);
//diffResult = parseFloat(diffResult);
if(Number(diffResult) >= 0){
yesNo = ' will';
console.log('a');
}
else{
yesNo = ' will not';
console.log('b');
}
}
