This Streamlit application provides a user-friendly interface to access weather data for a given city using the Open Weather Map API.
You can check out the deployed app here: Weathlit.
This project demonstrates a minimum viable product (MVP) using Streamlit, a Python library for creating web applications for data science and machine learning projects. The application connects to the Open Weather Map API to fetch real-time weather data for a given city and presents it in a user-friendly manner.
Upon launching the application, you will see a text input field where you can enter the name of the city for which you want to fetch weather data.
Type the name of the desired city in the text input and press "Enter" or click outside the input to trigger the data retrieval process.
The application will fetch weather data for the specified city using the Open Weather Map API and display the weather forecast for 5 days.
You can view the temperature, pressure, and humidity metrics in both numerical and chart format.
