Inspiration:
Golfers know that a great game hinges on the surrounding weather conditions.
Perhaps golfing will be pleasant now, but it'll rain in 2hr at the 10th tee box.
Or maybe instead of playing today on a windy day, I should wait till Friday for ideal conditions?
A useful tool might provide days and times that meet my ideal golfing weather conditions.
Project:
To solve this problem, a dynamic web application was developed that enables
users to input their city location, the min weather temperature, max average daily wind speed
and max acceptable chance of precipitation as their golfable parameters.
Through intigration with the Tomorrow.io API,
today's high temp is displayed along with the difference in degrees from your minimum,
wind speed along with its difference from your max, chance of precipitation and difference.
A graph with these weather metrics is created highlighting
the hours that you would be comfortable golfing during the day.
The sum of these hours are displayed. Under this are today and the next
4 days with numbers displaying total golfable hours in each day given your parameters.
Click on a day's button to see the graph and metric breakdown for that day.
