Hi Sreenatha!  Glad to hear you're interested in Tor Weather!

Just a quick reminder about GSoC: the student application deadline is
really soon, in like four days or so from now.  Be sure to get your
application in by the deadline!

Looks like some fine code.  I didn't spot any issues with it.  (I'm not
a Python person.)

I commented on #9889 with some feedback.  But let's keep the
#9889-specific discussion on the ticket.

Regarding general advice for this project, there's the project idea:

Not sure what other advice you're looking for.  Do you have any specific
questions?

Thanks for working on Weather!

All the best,
