Twitter Emoji Weather

Example:

My Twitter @KuokkanenSampo, where you can see this code in action.

Inspired by the project Twitter automatic name changer based on your followers, and indeed I have borroweded many parts from the source of the orignal project. So thanks for Raghav Khanna for the original project!

This bot will automatically change your name based the current weather in your location followers (Written in Python) once in 15 minutes. It fetches the current weather using the OpenWeather API. It will show the weather in Celcius and a weather icon after your username. Also easy to change to Fahrenheit.
