## 🚀 Features
✅ Real-time weather updates via [WeatherAPI.com](https://www.weatherapi.com/)
✅ Dynamic visuals for temperature, humidity, wind speed, and forecast
✅ API integration through Power BI's Power Query
✅ User-controlled city selection
✅ Interactive KPI cards and weather visuals
✅ Refreshable, customizable design

## 🛠️ Tech Stack
| Tool | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------|
| ⚡ Power BI | Data visualization and reporting |
| 🌐 WeatherAPI.com | Real-time weather data via API |
| 🔍 Power Query | API data ingestion and transformation |
| 📈 DAX | Metrics, KPIs, and calculated values |

## 🔄 How It Works
1. 🔑 **Get your API key**
- Sign up at [WeatherAPI.com](https://www.weatherapi.com/login.aspx)
- Go to your dashboard and copy your free API key
2. 🌐 **Connect via Power Query**
- Use Web connector in Power BI
- Enter URL:
```
https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json?key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=CityName
```
- Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` and `CityName` with dynamic input or parameters
3. 🛠️ **Data Transformation**
- Parse JSON response to extract required fields (e.g., temp_c, humidity, wind_kph)
- Transform to table format for visualization
4. 📊 **Build Visuals**
- Add cards, charts, and slicers for weather attributes
- Use DAX to calculate daily averages, max/min, etc.
