Project Overview
The Weather Forecast Web Application is a user-friendly platform
designed to provide users with up-to-date weather information for
various cities around the world. This web application offers real-time
weather data, temperature forecasts, and other relevant meteorological
details to help users plan their activities and make informed
decisions based on weather conditions.
Key Features

notify users when they enter an incorrect city name or if there are
any issues with fetching weather data.
