A modern, responsive weather web application that provides real-time weather data, forecasts, and atmospheric insights for any location worldwide.

• Overview

• Live Demo

Weather App is a fully client-side weather application built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It fetches live weather data using the OpenWeatherMap API and presents it in a clean, intuitive interface. Users can search for any city in the world and get instant access to current conditions.

Whether you're planning a trip, checking morning conditions, or just curious about the weather on the other side of the world — this app has you covered.

• 🔍 City Search — Search any city or town globally by name

• 📍 Geolocation Support — Automatically detect and display weather for the user's current location

• 🌡️ Current Weather — Real-time temperature, "feels like," humidity, wind speed, and visibility

| Technology | Purpose |

|---|---|

| HTML5 | Semantic markup and structure |

| CSS3 | Styling, animations, responsive layout (Flexbox & Grid) |

| JavaScript (ES6+) | App logic, DOM manipulation, API calls |

| OpenWeatherMap API | Weather data source (current + forecast) |

| Fetch API | Async HTTP requests to weather endpoints |

| LocalStorage | Persisting user preferences and search history |

| Geolocation API | Browser-native location detection |

Follow these steps to run the project locally on your machine.

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/weather-app.git
   

2. Navigate into the project directory

   cd weather-app
   

3. Open the project

   Simply open index.html in your browser:

   open index.html
   
   # or on Windows:
   
   start index.html
   

   Or use Live Server in VS Code for hot-reloading during development.

1. Go to https://openweathermap.org/ and create a free account.

2. Navigate to My API Keys in your dashboard and copy your key.

   // js/config.js
   
   const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
   
   const BASE_URL = "https://openweathermap.org/";

⚠️ Security Note: Never commit your API key to a public repository. Use environment variables or a .env file and add it to .gitignore for production applications.

The user either types a city name in the search bar or clicks "Use My Location" to trigger the browser's Geolocation API.

The app makes two parallel fetch calls to OpenWeatherMap:

• Current Weather: GET /weather?q={city}&appid={key}

• 5-Day Forecast: GET /forecast?q={city}&appid={key}

Raw API responses are parsed and transformed:

• Temperatures converted from Kelvin to °C or °F

• Unix timestamps converted to human-readable dates

• Wind degrees converted to compass directions (N, NE, E, SE, etc.)

This app uses the OpenWeatherMap API.

GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?units=metric&q={city name}&appid={API key}
