# PHP Weather API

A PHP-based Weather API that fetches and returns weather data from [Visual Crossing's API](https://www.visualcrossing.com/weather-api) uses [predis](https://github.com/predis/predis) for [Redis](https://redis.io) cache and [phpdotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) for loads environment variables.
