Weather Web App (Weather.io)

Project Overview

This Weather Web App is a simple and intuitive web application that allows users to check the current weather conditions for any city around the world. Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it fetches real-time weather data from a public API and displays key weather metrics such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather description. The app is fully responsive, ensuring a seamless user experience across different devices.

Features

• Real-time Weather Data: Fetches live weather data for any city using an external weather API.
• Search Functionality: Allows users to search for weather conditions in any city.
• Responsive Design: Optimized for desktop and mobile views.
• Interactive UI: Displays clear weather icons and relevant metrics such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather description.

Technologies Used

• HTML: For structuring the app.
• CSS: For styling and making the app responsive.
• JavaScript: For handling logic, API calls, and dynamic content rendering.

How It Works

1. The user enters a city name in the search bar.
2. The app fetches weather data from a public API.
3. Weather details such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and a brief description are displayed dynamically on the page.

API Integration

The app utilizes OpenWeatherMap API to fetch current weather data. You can create a free account on the OpenWeatherMap website and generate an API key to use in the project.

Future Enhancements

• Add a forecast feature to display weather predictions for the next few days.
• Include a "Current Location" option to automatically fetch weather data based on the user's geolocation.
• Add customizable themes based on current weather conditions (e.g., sunny, rainy, cloudy).

How to Run the Project

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the index.html file in your browser.
3. Enter the city name to check the weather conditions.
