WeatherApp

WeatherApp is a simple Java-based application that retrieves and displays weather information for a given location. It uses data from public APIs and provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).

Features

• Search weather by city name.
• Displays current weather condition, temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
• Provides visual icons for different weather conditions (e.g., clear, cloudy, rain, snow).
• Simple and responsive GUI built with Swing.

Requirements

• Java 17 or higher.
• Internet connection to fetch weather data.
• Public weather and geocoding APIs:
  • Open-Meteo (for weather data): https://open-meteo.com/
  • Open-Meteo Geocoding API.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.

   git clone https://github.com/GN-SR/WeatherApp.git

2. Navigate to the project directory.

3. Compile the project using a Java IDE or the command line.

4. Add your project assets (icons and images) to the src/assets directory:

   • clear.png (Clear weather icon)
   • cloudy.png (Cloudy weather icon)
   • rain.png (Rain weather icon)
   • snow.png (Snow weather icon)
   • humidity.png (Humidity icon)
   • windspeed.png (Windspeed icon)
   • search.png (Search button icon)

5. Run the application.

   java -cp bin AppLauncher
