Develop a Weather Forecast Web App Using Cloud APIs
Build a responsive web application that provides real-time weather updates and forecasts using cloud-based weather APIs like Weatherstack or OpenWeatherMap.Weather data is essential for daily planning, travel, and safety. This project demonstrates API integration, real-time data display, and user location detection—making it perfect for learning cloud-based services and frontend-backend communication.
The goal is to create a weather web app that fetches real-time and future weather conditions using APIs and displays it beautifully with location-specific features like auto-detection and search.
Real-Time Weather Data
Fetch live weather conditions including temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation using cloud APIs.
5-Day Forecast View
Display short-term forecasts with day-wise conditions, weather icons, and temperature ranges.
Location Search & Auto-Detect
Allow users to search cities or use geolocation to get weather updates for their current area.
Clean & Responsive UI
Design a mobile-friendly and attractive dashboard for presenting data with icons, charts, or summaries.
The application uses cloud-based APIs like OpenWeatherMap or Weatherstack to retrieve weather data in JSON format. On the frontend, the data is parsed and shown with intuitive visuals and search functionality.
- Detect user’s location using browser geolocation API.
- Fetch current weather and forecast using API calls.
- Display temperature, humidity, wind speed, sunrise/sunset, etc.
- Support search by city/country and switch between Celsius/Fahrenheit.
- Optionally store previous search history in local storage.
Frontend
React.js, Tailwind CSS, Chart.js or ApexCharts for visualization.
Backend (Optional)
Node.js or Flask backend to handle API proxying or cache responses.
Weather APIs
Weatherstack, OpenWeatherMap, or Climacell API for reliable data.
Hosting
Deploy frontend on Vercel, Netlify, or AWS S3/Amplify for cloud hosting.
1. Set Up React Project & UI
Create a weather dashboard layout with search, result cards, and dynamic styling.
2. Get API Key and Connect
Register on OpenWeatherMap or Weatherstack, fetch API key, and integrate with Axios or Fetch API.
3. Parse & Render Weather Data
Extract useful information like temperature, description, and forecast from API responses.
4. Add Geolocation & History
Use browser geolocation and store recent city searches in local storage.
5. Host and Test Cross-Device
Deploy the app online and ensure it works well on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Let the Cloud Power Your Forecasts
Combine the simplicity of APIs with the power of the cloud to deliver accurate, real-time weather insights in your app.
