💫 Aurora Forecast

** ABOUT **

In the Aurora Forecast app, users can swiftly identify the current probability of observing an aurora in a specified region. It leverages data from the SWPC NOAA service to provide real-time aurora forecasts based on geographic coordinates.

Features

• Dynamic Aurora Forecasting: Enables users to search for a specific location and find out the current likelihood of experiencing the aurora phenomena.
• Real-time Updates: Uses the React useEffect hook to fetch the latest aurora data when the component mounts or the geographic coordinates change.
• Coordinate Mapping: Utilizes coordinate manipulation to map longitude and latitude to the data structure used in the SWPC NOAA dataset.
• Visual Representation: Offers a graphical representation of aurora possibilities through a gradient progress bar that portrays the percentage probability of witnessing an aurora.

The aim of this project

The aim of this project was to learn how to fetch an API using React. Also, because I wanted to learn how to use Redux.

Some of the challenges I faced through this project

Getting the latitude and longitude of the region searched on Map Box, and finding and extracting the kp from the SWPC NOAA dataset was challenging.

The technologies I used for this app

• React
• RTK
• Mapbox
• API
• tailwind
• Vercel
