This application provides an example of the use of a server-side API to create a dynamic Weather Dashboard. It allows the user to search various cities to provide a current weather forecast and provide a 5 day future forecast. This application uses multiple api calls, all using Open Weather Map API. We also included use of the Local Storage to keep a record of previous searches. This was all tied together with HTML and Bootstrap to provide a clean application.
This weather dashboard has features such as:
- A search bar to search for cities.
- A history list, to provide user with a saved copy of previous searches for easy access.
- An area to show the current forecast, this includes a Date, an icon to portray the weather, Temperature (°C), Humidity (%) and Wind Speed (Meters/second).
- An area showing a forecast for the next 5 days including all the elements as the current forecast.
This application is used to provide the user with a clear representation of the current and future forecast for whichever city they search for. Providing clear visual using icon to portray the current weather and provide basic information such as temperature, humidity and wind speed. It also keeps a record of previous search allowing the user to simply click on them to search that city again.
