Welcome to WEATRO, where we bring you real-time train arrival data and weather information for all stations in the WMATA Metro system.
WEATRO is a single-page application consisting of a Rails 5 back-end and an Angular front-end. Additionally, we used two external APIs (WMATA train arrival data and WeatherUnderground weather data). WEATRO was built over five days in May 2017.
