Build a Weather Bot, Part 1: Temperature Threshold Alerts

You pick a station. You set a number. The bot tells you when the temperature crosses it, or when the day's trajectory says it won't. About 80 lines of Python. This is Part 1 of a three-part series on building with the DailyHigh API . Part 2 covers tracking a daily high from prediction to final result , and Part 3 covers monitoring multiple stations at once . 💡 Tip: All the code from this series is on GitHub: dailyhigh/weather-bot . Why threshold alerts? Forecasts give you a range. "High near 84 °F." That's useful for packing a jacket, less useful when you need to know whether a station will actually hit 85 °F on a specific day. The DailyHigh prediction endpoint updates every two minutes. It returns the current observed max, a predicted max, a confidence score, and a flag for whether the station has passed its daily peak. That's enough to build a bot that watches a single number and tells you the moment the answer is clear. What you'll need Python 3.9+ A DailyHigh Pro API key (starts wi
