Powered by WeatherAPI.com, this platform provides comprehensive weather data, advanced analytics, and sector-specific decision support, all with a user-friendly, multilingual interface. Features ✨
Real-Time Weather Data: Access current weather conditions for cities worldwide, with "New Delhi, India" as the default location 📍. Weather Forecasts: View dynamic forecasts for up to 14 days, including temperature, precipitation, wind, and more 📅. Historical Data: Analyze past weather trends with metrics like Growing Degree Days (GDD) and temperature anomalies 📊. Interactive Visualizations: Explore data through Plotly charts, heatmaps, and Folium maps 🗺️. Sector-Specific Decision Support: Get tailored recommendations for Agriculture 🌾, Transportation 🚚, Construction 🏗️, Energy, Tourism, Emergency Management, and Health. Multilingual Support: Use the platform in English, Hindi, Spanish, or French 🌐. Advanced Analytics: Calculate GDD, heat index, wind chill, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), and precipitation probability using machine learning (RandomForestClassifier) and time-series forecasting (Prophet). Export Options: Download charts, data (CSV/JSON), and decision support reports (LaTeX/text).
