Weather Information App

🔧 Project Overview:
This Weather Information App is developed using JavaFX (without Maven) and
WeatherAPI.com for real-time weather data. The application provides a user-friendly interface
for viewing current weather, short-term forecasts, unit conversion, and maintains a search history
with visual weather icons and dynamic backgrounds.
🔍 Key Features:
 Real-time weather data from WeatherAPI.com
 GUI built using JavaFX SDK (no external dependencies)
 Unit toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit
 Forecast for the next two days
 Weather condition icons for better UX
 Search history with timestamps
 Background changes based on time of day
 Robust error handling
🧠 Technical Explanation of Code:
✅ WeatherApp.java (Main Class)
Purpose: Entry point of the app that initializes the GUI and handles the logic for fetching,
parsing, and displaying weather data.
🛠️Key Components Explained:
 JavaFX GUI Layout: Utilizes VBox, HBox, GridPane, and Scene for organizing layout.
 Event Handling: Uses setOnAction for button click handling.
 HTTP Request: WeatherAPI data is fetched using HttpURLConnection.
 JSON Parsing: Uses org.json to extract data like temperature, condition, icon, and
forecast.
 Unit Toggle Logic: Converts temperature and wind speed between metric and imperial.
 History Tracking: Maintains a list of past queries with timestamps.
 Dynamic Background: Changes background image depending on system time.
