Weather App

This is a simple weather application built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It allows users to check the current weather conditions based on their location or search for weather by entering the name of a city.

Features

• View current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
• Get weather data for any city by entering its name.
• Responsive design, works on mobile and desktop devices.

Technologies Used

• HTML: Provides the structure of the app.
• CSS: Styles the app and ensures it's responsive.
• JavaScript: Handles API requests to fetch weather data, dynamically updates the user interface, and processes user input.
• OpenWeatherMap API: Provides the weather data (free API key required).

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

To get started with this project, you can clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/RaviSingh733/WeatherApp.git

cd WeatherApp

Get an OpenWeatherMap API Key

• Sign up on OpenWeatherMap and get your free API key.
• Once you have the key, replace YOUR_API_KEY in the script.js file with your actual API key:
• const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY'; // Replace with your OpenWeatherMap API key

Open the App Locally

• After cloning the repo, open the index.html file in your browser.
• This will launch the weather app locally, and you can start searching for cities to view the weather.
• Alternatively, you can deploy the app on GitHub Pages (or another hosting platform) by following the instructions below.

How to Deploy on GitHub Pages

• Push the project to your GitHub repository if you haven't already.
• Navigate to the repository settings.
• Scroll down to the "GitHub Pages" section.
• Under "Source", select the branch you want to deploy (usually main or master).
• After a few minutes, your weather app will be available at https://github.com/RaviSingh733/WeatherApp.git

How the App Works

• User Input: The user enters a city name into the input field.
• API Request: Upon submitting, the JavaScript fetch() function sends a request to the OpenWeatherMap API with the city name and the API key.
• Weather Data: The API returns the current weather data (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind speed), which is then displayed on the page.
• Error Handling: If the city is not found, the user will see an error message.
