Five Day Weather Forecast

Click here to run the application

Application Information

The application utilises Open Weather Map API to retrieve a five day weather forecast summary.

The daily summary is based on the retrieved OWM properties for the given day at 12:00 pm.

The raw data is mapped to an application specific Model which is used to display the dashboard data.

Problems

• Retrieving the data and mapping the required values

Solutions

• After retrieving the raw OWM data via a http get request the data is mapped to a model via a service which is called after executing the http request. (see: open.weather.map.response.mapper.ts)

Improvements

• Currently the dashboard on displays a daily summary based on the OWM data for the given day at 12:00pm, it would be nice to expand this to a morning, afternoon and evening summary.
