Inspiration is continual attempt to travel to Washington D.C. but always get caught off guard with the wind or weather. This also happens when we try and travel to Ocean City, MD and the weather is little different.

What it does is that it pulls the current weather and the temperature and gives a recommendation on staying outside or finding an indoor activity based off the temperature and the weather (rain, cloudy, sunny, etc.)

I built it with python.

Challenges I ran into was trying to get the feels_like parameters to call the json data accurately. I also had issues cleaning up the forecast data parameters as well.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of is that I was able to get it to call an API and present data neatly.

What I learned that building python data structures can get frustrating when dealing with items that span multiple days in reference to the focrecasting data parameters and need to learn more how to do this. I also learned how to move the api key to a separate document and then call that parameter from the main page.

What's next for Weather App is to delete the current api key, and then build it out and clean up the forecast data and the feels like data. Add the wind into the data call because on the coasts, the wind is a huge factor that many don't realize and can make a warm day, cold when you want to take kids to the park. So knowing if there are 15 mph winds will help make better decisions for example.
