Project Overview
This weather dashboard provides users with current weather conditions and forecasts for any location worldwide. It features a search function for locations, detailed weather information including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation, and a 7-day forecast.

Challenges
Handling the various data formats from different weather APIs and creating intuitive visualizations for complex weather data was challenging. I also needed to optimize the performance of map rendering.
Solution
I created a unified data model that normalized responses from different API endpoints and used Chart.js for optimized data visualization. For maps, I implemented lazy loading and tile optimization with Mapbox.
