Creating a weather app is a great beginner-friendly project that teaches you how to work with external APIs, user input, and dynamic data.

Technologies to use:

• HTML/CSS for structure and design.
• JavaScript or a frontend framework (e.g., React or Vue).
• Fetching data from OpenWeatherMap API or WeatherAPI.com.

Steps to build it:

1. Get an API key from a weather provider.
2. Set up the UI: Input field for city, and output area for temperature, description, etc.
3. Fetch data from the API using fetch() or Axios.
4. Parse the JSON and update the DOM or UI components.
5. Add features:
   • Display icons (sun, rain, snow).
   • Use geolocation API to fetch weather for current location.
   • Show 5-day forecast.

Sample API call:

jsКопироватьРедактироватьfetch(`https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=YOUR_KEY`)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

Bonus ideas:

• Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
• Use localStorage to remember last searched city.
• Add loading spinners and error messages.

This project helps you understand APIs, asynchronous JavaScript, and working with dynamic data—all skills vital for modern frontend development.
