#2: NWS Hourly Weather Forecast
Project Overview
The United States' National Weather Service (NWS) allows, for free, "developers access to critical forecasts, alerts, and observations, along with other weather data." When any organization provides developers access to data, the most common way to provide data is through an Application Programming Interface or API. An API is simply a documented and structured way that data is provided, so that a developer is able to use the data in a reliable and predictable way.
In this project, you will use the NWS Weather API to find the weather forecast for your location (anywhere in the United States!) and your project will always fetch the latest forecast the moment you run the code you will write! Let's nerd out with some weather data! 🎉
