Abstract
A notable shortcoming in contemporary digital navigation systems is their failure to incorporate live weather data. This study investigates the possibility of improving urban navigation experiences by integrating real-time weather data. We developed a navigation tool that utilizes weather data from the OpenWeather API, providing users with real-time insights into weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure. This tool enables users to make informed decisions about their routes and travel plans by providing updated temperature information for selected routes and assessing the risk of road sections based on weather conditions. Incorporating weather data into navigation systems has the potential to enhance driving safety, minimize travel durations, and alleviate weather-related disturbances in urban settings.
