Build a Weather Forecasting Website Using Weatherstack API
Create a real-time weather platform where users can search any city and get live weather conditions, temperature, forecasts, and air quality data dynamically using the Weatherstack API.Weather apps are widely useful for daily planning. Building one helps you master API fetching, geolocation support, dynamic rendering, real-time updates, and data visualization for user-friendly weather information platforms.
Let users search cities worldwide, see current weather conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed), view forecasts, and optionally explore advanced data like air quality, UV index, or sunrise/sunset times.
Live Weather Conditions by City
Display live temperature, weather description (cloudy, sunny, rainy), humidity, wind speed, and feels-like temperature based on city search.
Multi-Day Forecasts
Show 3-day, 5-day, or 7-day weather forecasts including high/low temperatures and weather descriptions for each day.
Geolocation Support (Optional)
Auto-detect user location and display current weather without needing manual city input (with user permission).
Weather Visualizations (Optional)
Add dynamic icons or backgrounds based on current weather (rain animations, sunny backgrounds, snow effects).
Users search for a city or allow location access. The app fetches real-time weather data from Weatherstack API and displays current conditions, detailed weather info, and future forecasts dynamically.
- Home page offers a city search input and displays weather based on city or user's current location.
- Live conditions are displayed with dynamic weather icons (e.g., clouds, rain, sun).
- Forecasts show high/low temperatures for upcoming days in card or list view.
- Optional: Display sunrise/sunset times, UV index, air quality, or hourly forecasts.
- Optional: Add dark mode toggle for night-time viewing comfort.
