Weather App

A simple weather application built while learning JavaScript, async programming, and basic DOM manipulation.

This project uses the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch real-time weather data and display it on a minimal UI.

The goal was not to clone a tutorial project feature-by-feature, but to understand:

• How fetch works
• How Promises and async/await behave
• How API data flows into the DOM
• How small UI states are controlled with JavaScript

Features

• Search weather by city
• Fetches live data from OpenWeatherMap
• Displays:
  • City name
  • Date
  • Temperature in °C
  • Weather description
• Clean, minimal dark UI

Tech Stack

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• OpenWeatherMap API

Notes

This project was built as a learning exercise.
Parts of the structure were inspired by a tutorial, but the implementation and decisions were made intentionally to avoid blind copying.

The focus is understanding execution, not visual polish.

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Open index.html in a browser
3. Insert your own OpenWeatherMap API key in the JS file

const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
