It’s raining codes and docs. WMO weather interpretation code mapping and translation for english and german

Just wanted to let you know I wrote a little mapper / translation for WMO weather codes as the (free) API I use for current weather and forecast also provides it.

# code source: worksonmymachine.de

# WMO Weather interpretation codes (WW) as used by https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/dwd-api
# translated by mustbeyourfault@worksonmymachine.de

# Code 	        Description
# 0 	        Clear sky
# 1, 2, 3 	    Mainly clear, partly cloudy, and overcast
# 45, 48 	    Fog and depositing rime fog
# 51, 53, 55 	Drizzle: Light, moderate, and dense intensity
# 56, 57 	    Freezing Drizzle: Light and dense intensity
# 61, 63, 65 	Rain: Slight, moderate and heavy intensity
# 66, 67 	    Freezing Rain: Light and heavy intensity
# 71, 73, 75 	Snow fall: Slight, moderate, and heavy intensity
# 77 	        Snow grains
# 80, 81, 82 	Rain showers: Slight, moderate, and violent
# 85, 86 	    Snow showers slight and heavy
# 95 * 	        Thunderstorm: Slight or moderate
# 96, 99 * 	    Thunderstorm with slight and heavy hail

ENGLISH = 0
GERMAN = 1

_UNKNOWN = 99999

def weather(code: int, lang: int = None) -> str:
    lang = ENGLISH if lang is None or lang not in wmo else lang
    return wmo[lang][code] if code in wmo[lang].keys() else wmo[lang][_UNKNOWN]

An example API call to the weather API I am using and mapping the current weather code to readable format.

import requests
import weather_code

data = requests.get("https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/dwd-icon?latitude=48.70&longitude=13.46&current_weather=true&timezone=Europe%2FBerlin").json()
print(data)

print(f"weather: {weather_code.weather(data['current_weather']['weathercode'])}")

The code is on Github and it is very simple to use, so have fun!
