Wilson's Weather App - Front End

Wilson's Weather is a web application designed to provide real-time weather updates based on user location or manual search input. It leverages geolocation for auto-detecting the user's position or allows users to search for a specific location to get weather details. Check it out here: https://wilsons-weather.com

Features

  • Current Weather: Displays the current weather conditions for the user's location or searched location.
  • Hourly Weather Forecast: Shows an hourly weather forecast allowing users to plan their day around the weather.
  • Weekly Weather Forecast: Provides a look at the weather for the upcoming week.
  • Location Search: Users can type in a location to see the weather there. An autocomplete feature suggests locations as the user types.

Technology Stack

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • API: Custom backend hosted on Heroku (Node.js)
  • Styling: Uses styles.css for custom styles and Font Awesome for icons.
