Value Error while importing data into postgres table using psycopg2 - django

Question

I have a tuple as below
data = ({'weather station name': 'Substation', 'wind': '6 km/h', 'barometer': '1010.3hPa', 'humidity': '42%', 'temperature': '34.5 C', 'place_id': '001D0A00B36E', 'date': '2016-05-10 09:48:58'})
I am trying to push the values from the above tuple to the postgres table using the code below:
try:
con = psycopg2.connect("dbname='WeatherForecast' user='postgres' host='localhost' password='****'")
cur = con.cursor()
cur.executemany("""INSERT INTO weather_data(temperature,humidity,wind,barometer,updated_on,place_id) VALUES (%(temperature)f, %(humidity)f, %(wind)f, %(barometer)f, %(date)s, %(place_id)d)""", final_weather_data)
ver = cur.fetchone()
print(ver)
except psycopg2.DatabaseError as e:
print('Error {}'.format(e))
sys.exit(1)
finally:
if con:
con.close()
Where datatype of each field in the DB is as below:
id serial NOT NULL,
temperature double precision NOT NULL,
humidity double precision NOT NULL,
wind double precision NOT NULL,
barometer double precision NOT NULL,
updated_on timestamp with time zone NOT NULL,
place_id integer NOT NULL,
When i run the code to push the data into postgres table using psycopg2, it is raising an error "ValueError: unsupported format character 'f'"
I hope the issue is in formatting. Am using Python3.4

Have a look at the documentation:
The variables placeholder must always be a %s, even if a different placeholder (such as a %d for integers or %f for floats) may look more appropriate:
>>> cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%d)", (42,)) # WRONG
>>> cur.execute("INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (%s)", (42,)) # correct
While, your SQL query contains all type of placeholders:
"""INSERT INTO weather_data(temperature,humidity,wind,barometer,updated_on,place_id)
VALUES (%(temperature)f, %(humidity)f, %(wind)f, %(barometer)f, %(date)s, %(place_id)d)"""
