How SkyMood Works
SkyMood is a user-friendly weather app that provides real-time weather information and a 5-day forecast with a visually appealing interface. Here's how it works:
- The app uses your device's Geolocation API to determine your current location.
- It then fetches current weather data and a 5-day forecast from the OpenWeatherMap API using your coordinates.
- The current weather information is displayed along with an appropriate animation based on the current weather conditions.
- A 5-day forecast is shown below the current weather information.
- You can easily refresh the weather data by clicking the "Refresh Weather" button.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does SkyMood determine my location?
A: SkyMood uses the Geolocation API in your browser to get your current coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Q: Is my location data stored or shared?
A: No, SkyMood only uses your location to fetch weather data and does not store or share your location information.
Q: How accurate is the 5-day forecast?
A: The 5-day forecast provides a general outlook for the upcoming weather. However, weather predictions become less accurate the further into the future they go. Always check for updates closer to the date you're interested in.
Q: How often is the weather data updated?
A: The weather data is fetched each time you load the app or click the "Refresh Weather" button. The OpenWeatherMap API updates its data approximately every 10 minutes for current weather and every 3 hours for forecasts.
Q: What should I do if the app shows an error?
A: If you see an error message, it could be due to issues with geolocation, internet connection, or the weather API. Try the following steps:
- Ensure you've given the app permission to access your location.
- Check your internet connection.
- Refresh the page or click the "Try Again" button.
- If the issue persists, it might be a temporary problem with the weather service. Please try again later.
Q: Can I use SkyMood on my mobile device?
A: Yes, SkyMood is designed to work on both desktop and mobile devices. It's responsive and should adapt to your screen size automatically.
Q: What do the weather animations represent?
A: The animations are visual representations of the current weather conditions. For example, you might see a sun for clear weather, clouds for cloudy conditions, or rain for rainy weather.
