WEB-BASED APPLICATION FOR WEATHER FORECASTING SYSTEM USING GEOLOCATION AND CONVERTED TEMPERATURE

Abstract

Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular location and time, including elements such as air temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction, and speed. Weather includes all changes in atmospheric conditions that occur over time. Using the weather forecast application can facilitate people in carrying out their activities. Weather forecasting systems are an important part of monitoring and planning daily activities. The development of this application implements the API key technology in weather monitoring and geolocation for the user location. It also allows users to choose the most suitable temperature unit. Therefore, this application is expected to improve users' understanding of weather conditions and assist them in making better decisions in their daily activities. This application aims to access the latest weather data based on the user's geographic location by using geolocation algorithms to determine the user's location. The application also utilizes OpenWeatherMap and AirVisual API keys to retrieve real-time weather forecasts and air quality data. In addition, the app also utilizes a temperature conversion algorithm that allows users to select the temperature unit that suits their preference. This application also allows users to search for specific weather locations, which is useful when planning a trip or wanting to know the weather in specific places. This application has a news menu using a binary search algorithm.
