Weather App

Know live weather conditions on a single click

The Problem

Users can get too busy at work or at home to check the current weather conditions for severe weather. Many of the free weather software programs have too many pop ups or unwanted software tied to them like weather bug.Getting confusing information on weather warnings from inaccurate sources.Also every application has different information of weather of the same location at the same time.The reason is that there are many sources such as newspaper,television,radio,etc which provide weather updates which often differ. One cannot rely on a particular source. Also, information such as humidity,wind speed ,pressure is seldom provided on these sources. If a user needs information on above mentioned parameters then he/she needs to visit various sources for that, which is a tedious job.

• Provides users with accurate information regarding the climate of the city they input.
• Displayed climate parameters includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, sunrise time, sunset time, co-ordinates and country-code of the location.
• Accurately shows the weather of a given region.

Technologies used:

• HTML
• CSS
• Python
• Django
• sqlite3
• pip

API used to fetch weather information
