The weather app is a project that checks the weather on any city in the world and return
the weather condition based on the query, and gives a recommendation on what to do.

I intend to add more functionality so as to solve the emerging climate problems to the world.
For instance the uncontrollable bush fires in Australia, floods and landslides in Kenya, Malawi, droughts in many parts of sub-Sahara region, among many others.

I welcome any input or suggestion to make this project a success.

Below is a screenshot of a sample weather data for Nairobi, Kenya.
