Real-Time Weather Forecast, OpenWeather API, Web Application, API Integration, Meteorological DataAbstract
In the digital age, real-time weather forecasting has become a crucial tool for individuals, businesses, and governments to make informed decisions regarding daily activities, agriculture, disaster management, travel, and logistics. Traditional meteorological methods, while accurate, often fail to provide personalized, location-specific, and real-time updates in user-friendly formats. This manuscript presents a comprehensive study and implementation of a real-time weather forecast website leveraging the OpenWeather API, a widely adopted platform for global weather data. The project integrates web technologies—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and backend frameworks—with OpenWeather’s extensive meteorological datasets to provide real-time, location-specific weather forecasts
