vigimeteo

Vigilance Meteo : French West Indies weather awareness level.

This module grabs METEO-FRANCE weather information about the current weather awareness level to alert people in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin and Saint Barths.

It can be used as command line tool or as python module and imported in a third party program.

Vigilance Météo

In France this level is called "Vigilance Météo", and suprisingly there is no API nor RSS flux to retrieve in realtime this information for French West Indies. This information is vital for local people. Two specific levels : violet (purple) and gris (gray) purple, have been created for these islands because of the risk of hurricanes.

Actually, this tools works only for Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint Martin / Saint Barths. The French Guyane is divided in 4 "vigilance météo" area and the weather forecast provided by METEO-FRANCE use a different format from the others.
