📋 Prerequisites
Before running the script, ensure you have:
1. Python installed on your machine.
2. An API Key from OpenWeatherMap. You can get one for free [here](https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up).

⚙️ Installation & Setup

2. Install dependencies: It is recommended to use a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install requests

3. Configure your API Key: Open the main script (e.g., main.py or weather.py) and replace the placeholder variable with your actual API key:

API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
