  Automatically determine your location using the browser's geolocation API and reverse geocode it to provide weather details.

- **Favorites Management**  

  Add and organize favorite locations with a clean UI, enabling quick weather checks for saved locations.

- **Search Functionality**  

  Find locations worldwide through [OpenStreetMap Nominatim](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/) with error handling for invalid inputs.

## 🛠️ Technologies Used

- **JavaScript (ES6+)**  

  Leveraging classes, promises, and async/await for modular, maintainable, and dynamic code.

  - [BigDataCloud](https://www.bigdatacloud.com/): Reverse geocoding for human-readable addresses.

  - [OpenStreetMap Nominatim](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/): Forward geocoding for search functionality.

- **Leaflet.js**  

  For interactive map rendering and geospatial data visualization.

- **CSS**  

  Custom styles for polished visuals, though the app is not yet responsive.
