Bring a weather forecast web app on the go

There are so many weather forecasting channels, newspapers and other bulletins that predict today’s and tomorrow’s weather conditions. But, most felt the need for an app on the go, through which they can know the exact weather conditions of their location. While there are web apps for the same thing, most fail to do the job. Either they are providing too much information, which complicates things, or there are just little fluffy icons that don’t provide enough information when clicked. A serious web app for forecasts means a free app that can make serious predictions with just one click on forecasts. Here, take a look at how you can create a frankly weather forecast web app.

• Design: There are a lot of design ideas for such an application. But, only look for those that can deliver results with a minimum of clicks. While keeping the app simple is the key here, showing just the temperature, rain/thunder, humidity percentage, cloudy/sunny will suffice. However, that needs to be accurate with the location from where the user logs in.
• Logic: The API response of weather applications is a fundamental aspect to consider. You need to make sure by getting the latitude and longitude of the visitor or user so you can provide the weather information on the fly. The easiest way to do this was to use the HTML5 Geolocation API which was pretty simple and straightforward. Also, the main condition for creating such an application is to learn how to access all parts of the JSON data returned by the API response.

While following the above means you are half as successful in creating a proper weather forecast app, here is a look at the main features that you should include in it.

• Account registration: You need to put a function to register for an account to get the forecast. So this will allow the app to get the users location once and predict it immediately every time they log into the app.
• Weather News – Not just location based forecasts but enable your app to provide weather news from other regions and countries. There are many who need to know about weather conditions, any unfavorable changes of one region to sitting in some other corner of the world. So make your app capable of getting all the weather related news from all over the world and provide them in one section of the app.
• Forecasts by City Names: In addition to real-time location weather forecasts, keep an option to find out daily and morning forecasts for different cities. This will help frequent long-distance travelers, especially business travelers, to prepare for their visits.
• Miscellaneous Features – There are many additional features besides the basic features that you need to include in your web app, to make it a vertical weather forecast app. Weather maps, forecast duration (1 day, 2 days, etc.), heat index, dew point, wind speed, moon phases, sunrise and sunset times, and widgets are , among others.

Well, that was our checklist and guide for you! If it was clear to you, don’t wait any longer. Launch your own web app for perfect weather forecast and help people stay alert about any bad or favorable weather conditions on the go.
