weather-app

A small weather app built using Async/Await, Promises and the OpenWeather API

Key Features :

Users can search for the current weather and five-day forecast for any place on Earth, via the free OpenWeather API
Displays key weather metrics such as temperature, current weather icon and description, location-specific date and time, as well as the "feels-like" temperature, humidity, wind-speed, and sunrise/sunset
Users can easily switch between temperature units (°C & °F) for current weather and the five-day forecast
Makes use of JavaScript's built-in Geolocation API (as well as OpenCage Data's Reverse Geocoding API) to display the weather according to each user's actual location on page-load
Background image changes depending on the weather condition and the time of day
Features a responsive, mobile-friendly design

Strengthened understanding of working with asynchronous functions, using async, await, and the JavaScript Promise API
Learned how to fetch and parse data by working with several different APIs
Improved ability to manipulate date-times and to work with UTC times
