There are so many channels that forecast the weather, newspapers and other bulletins that predict the weather conditions of today and tomorrow. But, most of them 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 of them fail the purpose. Either they’re providing too much information, which complicates things, or there are just fluffy little icons that don’t provide enough information when clicked. A serious web application for forecasts means a free application that can make serious predictions with just one click on forecasts. Here, take a look at how you can create an outright web application for weather forecasting.

• Design: There are plenty of design ideas for such app. But, only look for those that can deliver results with a minimum of clicks. While keeping the app simple is key here, displaying only temperature, rain/thunderstorm, humidity percentage, cloudy/sunny will suffice. However, that needs to be accurate with the location where the user logs in from.
• 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 that 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 building 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 take a look at the top features you should include in it.

• Account Registration: You need to put a function to register an account to get the forecast. So this will allow the app to get the users location once and immediately predict it every time they log in to the app.
• Weather News: Not just location-based predictions, 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 change from 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 it in one section of the app.
• Forecasts by city names: In addition to real-time location weather forecasts, keep an option to know the daily and tomorrow forecasts of different cities. This will help frequent long-distance travelers, especially business travelers, prepare for their visits.
• Miscellaneous Features: There are many extra 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 , to name a few.

Well that was our checklist and guide for you! If it was clear to you, wait no more. Launch your own web app for perfect weather forecasting and help people stay alert for any bad or favorable weather conditions on the go.
