Weather Forecast Application

Objective

This project is a weather forecast application built using React.js that fetches and displays weather data from a public API. It emphasizes reusable components, API integration, state management, and a user-friendly interface.

Features

• Current Weather Display: Shows the current weather for a default city (e.g., New York) with components for city name, temperature, weather condition, and an icon.

• City Search Functionality: Users can search for weather information for different cities using a custom-built input component, allowing for efficient and intuitive city lookup.

• Five-Day Forecast: Below the current weather, users can view a detailed 5-day weather forecast, including:

  • Day of the week
  • High and low temperatures
  • Weather icons for each day

• Temperature Unit Conversion: Users can toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, with manual conversion logic implemented to ensure accurate temperature displays.

• Responsive Design: The application is styled to be visually appealing and responsive, adapting seamlessly to various screen sizes and orientations.

• Additional Features :

  • Caching for the last searched city to enable offline viewing.
  • Pull-to-refresh functionality for updating weather data.
  • Performance optimizations like lazy loading components and optimizing API calls.
