TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES

Weather Website is built using the HTML, CSS , Javascript with Open WeatherMap API incorporating several

key tools and packages :

1) HTML: HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the standard language used for creating and structuring
content on the web. It provides the foundation for web pages by defining elements like headings, paragraphs,
images, links, and other media. HTML acts as the skeleton of a webpage, organizing the content in a way that
browsers can interpret and display to users.
2) CSS : CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a style sheet language used to control the presentation and layout of
web pages. While HTML provides the structure and content, CSS is responsible for the visual appearance,
including colors, fonts, spacing, alignment, and overall layout. This separation of content and style enables
more efficient, maintainable, and flexible web design.
3) JavaScript : JavaScript (JS) is a versatile, high-level programming language primarily used to create
interactive and dynamic content on websites. Unlike HTML and CSS, which define a webpage’s structure and
style, JavaScript adds functionality, allowing users to interact with a website in real time. JavaScript can
respond to user actions, modify webpage content, validate form inputs, animate elements, and much more.
4) Open Weather Map API : The Open Weather API is a powerful tool that provides access to a wide range
of weather data for locations around the world. It allows developers to integrate real-time weather information
into their applications, websites, and other digital services. Open Weather offers a variety of endpoints that
supply data such as current weather conditions, forecasts, historical data, and more, making it an ideal choice
for building weather-related applications.

Key Features of the OpenWeather API:

1. Current Weather Data: The API provides up-to-date weather information for specific cities or
geographical coordinates. This includes data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation,
atmospheric pressure, and general weather conditions.
2. Weather Forecasts: OpenWeather offers short-term (hourly) and long-term (daily) forecasts, giving
users an overview of upcoming weather conditions. The API supports both 5-day and 16-day
forecasts, making it suitable for planning purposes.
3. Historical Data: The API also provides historical weather data, which can be useful for analyzing
past weather patterns, conducting research, or generating insights for specific locations over time.
