UV Forecast (Melbourne + anywhere)

A React + Vite app that shows hourly UV index forecast for the next 3 days.

• Default location: Melbourne, AU
• Optional: search any place (via Open‑Meteo geocoding)
• Views: Chart (hover for details) + Table
• Caches API responses in localStorage for 10 minutes to avoid hammering the API

Data source

Uses Open‑Meteo (free, no API key):

• Geocoding: https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/
• Forecast: https://open-meteo.com/

We request: hourly=uv_index with forecast_days=3 and timezone=auto.

Run locally

From this folder:

npm install
npm run dev

Then open the URL Vite prints (usually http://localhost:5173).

Build

npm run build
npm run preview

Notes

• UV is a forecast. treat it as guidance.
• If you want to pin it to Melbourne-only, remove the search UI and hardcode the coordinates.
