6.2 Limitations:

While the Weather Forecasting System offers a reliable and intuitive platform for users to

access weather data, there are certain limitations that should be considered for future

improvement and development. Below are some of the key limitations of the current system:

The system relies on third-party weather data APIs (OpenWeatherMap) to fetch real-time

weather information. While these APIs generally provide accurate data, they may experience

downtime, data discrepancies, or rate limiting that could impact the system's performance or

availability. If these APIs are unavailable or change their pricing/terms, the system may be

affected.

The system's accuracy and performance might vary depending on the region. While most

APIs offer global coverage, certain regions, particularly remote or less developed areas, may

have limited weather data availability or less accurate forecasts.

Since the system relies on real-time data fetched from online APIs, it requires a stable

internet connection to function properly. Users in areas with unreliable or slow internet

connections may experience delays in retrieving weather data, or the system may not work at

all.

⚬ Incorporating machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models can
improve the accuracy of weather predictions. These models can analyze vast
amounts of historical and real-time data to predict weather patterns more precisely,
helping users plan better for future weather events.
⚬ AI could be used to better interpret weather data, identifying local microclimates
and providing hyper-local forecasts with greater precision.
• Predictive Analytics:
⚬ Leveraging predictive analytics to offer more detailed insights into upcoming
weather conditions, such as extreme weather events, natural disasters (e.g.,
hurricanes, floods), and unusual climate behavior. Advanced algorithms can help
forecast weather with greater certainty for specific regions.

2. Integration of More Data Sources

• Multiple Weather APIs:
⚬ The system can integrate additional weather data providers to offer more
comprehensive and varied weather data, including real-time satellite imagery, air
quality data, and oceanic weather patterns. By using multiple data sources, the
system can cross-verify and enhance the reliability of the data presented to users.
• Internet of Things (IoT):
⚬ IoT devices, such as personal weather stations and weather sensors, can be
integrated to provide real-time, on-the-ground data. This would allow users to
contribute data for more localized and precise forecasts, especially in areas not
covered by traditional weather stations.

3. Mobile Application Development

• Native Mobile Apps:
