   • The app uses the Geolocation API to fetch the user's latitude and longitude.
   • Sends the coordinates to the weather API to fetch and display current weather data.

2. City Search

   • Users can input a city name in the search bar.
   • The app fetches the weather data for the entered city using the weather API.

3. Weather Data Display

   • Temperature, weather conditions, humidity, and wind speed are dynamically updated and displayed.
   • Icons representing weather conditions enhance the UI.
