A weather dashboard that allows the user to look up the 5-day weather forecast for multiple cities as well as current local conditions

Server-Side APIs Challenge: Weather Dashboard

Description

For this challenge, I was tasked with creating a weather dashboard that allows a user to look up the weather forecast for multiple cities. Using the OpenWeather API, the dashboard features current weather conditions, as well as the 5-day forecast for the selected location. The app runs in the browser and features dynamically updated HTML and CSS.

This weather dashboard app resembles the mock-up functionality provided by the client and includes all features as requested in the user story.

User Story

I WANT to see the weather outlook for multiple cities
SO THAT I can plan a trip accordingly
