+# Weather App
+
+This is a simple weather application that allows users to view current weather data for a specified location. The app is built using React and TypeScript, and it fetches weather data from an external API.
+
+> For that we use the OpenWeatherMap API. You can get your own API key by signing up at [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/api).
+
+## Features
+
+- Search for weather by city name
+- Display current weather conditions including temperature, humidity, and wind speed
+- Responsive design for mobile and desktop views
+- Change API key preferences
+- Display weather data in a user-friendly format
+
