What I built
Essentially I built a search engine of climate data for over 120,000 locations.

Due to the sheer amount of people NOT using this, this would definitely qualify as a Wacky Wildcard project.

Background
The fascination with cold weather inspired me to build an app that simulates how weather patterns can affect an area. My goal was to create a catalog of meteorological information for every location in the world that has a population over 1,000, providing users with an alternative to other weather apps on the market.
How I built it
I built Climatology using Next.js, MongoDB, Python, and R for data processing. GitHub Actions and Codespaces played a significant role in streamlining the development process, allowing me to test design ideas and REST APIs quickly.
During the development process, I learned a great deal about Next.js, MongoDB, using Postman for API testing, and scientific computing. I also improved my skills in handling Git version control and working with geolocation features.
