Weather Dashboard

About this dashboard

This is a free, live weather dashboard for any city in the world. It opens on New York, NY by default — type a city into the search box above to switch. Everything on the page is current observed and forecast data, refreshed each time you load or search, with no account, no sign-up and no ads.

Each search returns six things: current conditions (temperature, what it actually feels like, wind, and a plain-language summary of the sky); a humidity comfort reading that translates relative humidity into whether the air will feel muggy, comfortable or dry; air quality with the US AQI value and its health category; sunrise and sunset times for that location; an hourly rain chance for the next 12 hours, so you can see whether a shower lands before or after your commute; and a 5-day forecast with daily highs and lows. When conditions call for it — high wind, extreme cold or heat, or likely rain — a heads-up banner appears at the top.

Where the data comes from

Weather and air-quality data are supplied by Open-Meteo, an open-data weather API that aggregates national meteorological services, published under a CC BY 4.0 license. City names are resolved through the same provider's geocoding service. Nothing is stored: the page queries the API directly from your browser each time, so there is no account to create and no search history kept.

Why this exists

I'm Jacob Heifetz-Licht, an analytics manager and web developer in New York. I built this as a small, deliberately fast example of the kind of thing I ship — a single static page, no framework, no build step and no tracking beyond privacy-friendly page counts, that still does something genuinely useful every day. It loads in well under a second on a phone. If you want to see the rest of my work, or you need something similar built, the portfolio is one click away.
