Introducing the Qt/C++ based desktop weather forecast app, inspired by the sleek design of the Windows weather app. Dive into real-time weather insights, right at the convenience of your desktop.
-
Localized Weather Search: Enter a specific location in the search bar to retrieve tailored weather updates.
Powered by the REST APIs from http://t.weather.itboy.net, the app fetches detailed weather stats for cities in China. For instance, for Beijing, the endpoint is http://t.weather.itboy.net/api/weather/city/101010100. Feel free to use tools like Postman to explore the JSON structure from this API.

Comprehensive Forecast: Get a snapshot of the weather trajectory - from yesterday's climate, today's conditions, to forecasts for the next four days.
-
Detailed Metrics: The app provides more than just temperatures. Delve into specifics such as current weather conditions, wind speed and direction, humidity levels, PM2.5 concentrations, and overall air quality.
Qt serves as an outstanding platform for crafting cross-platform GUI applications compatible with a diverse range of software and hardware. Constructing a weather forecast application offers a concise demonstration of Qt's capabilities.
For those looking to expand their programming horizons, consider employing Python as an alternative means to replicate this app or even take a leap into the Android domain for a richer learning experience.
