@KnockadoonW is a Twitter bot I developed one lockdown afternoon in late 2020. It is written in Python and uses the Met Éireann Weather Forecast API to provide the data. I use the Twython library for posting to Twitter. The bot runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in an AWS Lambda function, trigged by AWS EventBridge.
