Build a Real-Time Weather App with OpenWeather API
Display weather conditions like temperature, humidity, and forecasts by fetching data from the OpenWeather API — a practical project for mastering APIs and frontend design.A weather app teaches how to fetch and handle external data using APIs, parse JSON responses, and dynamically update the UI. It’s an excellent real-world project to practice JavaScript and responsive design.
Focus on functionality, real-time updates, and an intuitive interface. Make weather information easy to access and understand.
City-Based Weather Search
Users can search for weather in any city using a search bar.
Current Temperature & Conditions
Display temperature, weather description, humidity, and wind speed.
Weather Icons
Use icons from OpenWeather or external libraries to visually represent conditions like sunny, rainy, or snowy.
Responsive Design
Ensure the app works smoothly on mobile and desktop with clean layouts and readable data.
When a user enters a city name, the app sends a request to the OpenWeather API, receives a JSON response, and updates the UI with weather details like temperature, humidity, and more.
- User enters a city name and submits the form.
- API fetches weather data in real-time from OpenWeather servers.
- JSON data is parsed and displayed on the screen.
- Weather icons change based on conditions.
- Optional: Add background changes or themes based on weather type.
