Weather Dashboard

A modern weather application built with React and TypeScript that provides real-time weather data and forecasts.

Features

  • Current weather conditions for any city
  • 5-day weather forecast
  • Interactive weather maps
  • Geolocation support
  • Dark mode support
  • Responsive design

Technical Implementation

The application uses the OpenWeather API to fetch weather data and displays it using custom React components.

Key Components

  • SearchBar: Allows users to search for cities
  • WeatherCard: Displays current weather conditions
  • ForecastList: Shows 5-day forecast
  • WeatherMap: Interactive map with weather layers

Challenges Solved

  1. API Rate Limiting: Implemented caching to reduce API calls
  2. Performance: Used React.memo and useMemo for optimization
  3. Error Handling: Graceful fallbacks for API failures

Results

  • 100% Lighthouse performance score
  • <2s initial load time
  • 50k+ monthly active users
