Weather App Using Angular

We will be creating a weather application using the Angular framework. This app will allow users to check the current weather conditions by entering a city name. It will provide detailed information including temperature, weather description, wind speed, and humidity. With responsive design and interactive features, the app will offer a user-friendly experience across various devices.
