Project:- 4/500 Weather App Project LiveRun

Description

This is a simple weather app that allows users to get current weather information for any location. The app uses an external weather API to fetch real-time weather data and displays it in a user-friendly interface. This project is ideal for learning how to work with APIs and building interactive web applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Features

  • Real-time Weather Data: Fetch and display current weather information for any location.

  • Search Functionality: Allow users to search for weather information by city name.

  • Responsive Design: Ensure the app works well on various devices, including mobile phones and tablets.

Technologies Used

  • JavaScript: For fetching data from the weather API and updating the DOM.

  • HTML: For structuring the app's interface.

  • CSS: For styling the app and making it responsive.
