Weather API Integration


Retrieves weather data from a third-party API based on user-defined
location. Handles API calls, data parsing, and error handling.

Data Processing and Storage


Processes raw API data, converts it into a usable format, and stores it
for later use. Includes data validation, formatting, and caching
mechanisms.

Data Visualization
Presents weather data visually using charts, graphs, maps, or icons.
Allows for easier understanding and interpretation.
