What is the Weather App and What Does it Do?

What is the Weather App?

The Weather App is a modern, responsive web application that uses ReactJS to fetch real-time weather data for any city using the OpenWeatherMap API. It dynamically displays:

  • City Name & Country
  • Current Temperature
  • Weather Description (e.g., Clear, Cloudy, Rainy)
  • An animated weather icon matching the condition
  • Real-time Clock (Updated every second)

The app showcases how React components, state management, and API integration can work together in a polished user experience.

Aim of the Project

The goal of this project is to guide you through building a complete weather app using ReactJS from scratch. You’ll learn how to:

  • Use functional components and React Hooks (useState, useEffect)
  • Handle user input through forms
  • Fetch live weather data using fetch() from an external API
  • Update the UI based on the fetched data
  • Add styling and animations for a professional look
  • Host the project using a simple and free platform like Netlify

By the end of all modules, you’ll not only have a live weather app hosted online but also a strong understanding of how a modern React project is structured and built.
