How to Use

1. Enter Location: Simply enter the name of the location you want to check the weather for in the provided input field.
2. View Weather: WeatherMan will fetch the current weather conditions and display them along with the forecast.
3. Location-based Weather: Click on the option to fetch weather based on your current coordinates.
4. Temperature Conversion: Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit to view the temperature in your preferred metric.
5. Note: Since I am using a free account of Render, the backend can take time to load/reload due to inactivity. So sometimes, users may need to "double-click" the search icon to properly search for the location. However, it only happens for the first time and ceases after that.
