How nishadnp/weather-app works
Day & Night Weather Dashboard is a vanilla-JavaScript weather and forecasting application. Its main workflow accepts a searched or current location, fetches weather, transforms the response into component-ready data, then updates the dashboard and weather-based background. The UI also presents hourly wind, multi-day forecasts, weather metrics, and sun/moon tracking. The README documents a static-map integration; its caller is not established by the sampled source, so the graph does not invent that connection. Chart and map details rely on README descriptions where source was not sampled.
