For this assignment I wanted to build off on what I learned in class so I could practice the fuctionalities while adding something usefull to my page. I used new data that I am receiving from openweathermap.org since I wanted to try somthing new. I set up the JS file to first receive user input for the city of choice.

This was a fun assignment to work with and I used some examples from online to set up the css. It ws very interesting to see the data come up for cities around the world and it was very interesting how the weather was updated in real time.
