In 2021, I got an idea for a weather forecast website because of the huge volume of searches for weather information every month. This led to the creation of yourweatherconnection.com
To quickly summarize everything I did, I:
Came up with a system for instantly creating thousands of web pages based on cities/towns in the United States.
Optimized those web pages to be as search engine friendly as possible compared to other weather websites out there.
Did competitive research to figure out what each site was doing badly to try and beat them.
Setup each page to automatically receive weather data from Weather.gov’s free API data service.
Raised $500 toward the website in a competition at my college, University of St Thomas. Press release on that here.
Although this website seems to be growing (very slowly), I can’t control the data stream, so it probably isn’t worth continuing to work on right now. If NOAA decided to cut off the weather.gov data stream, my website would pretty much collapse.
For those reasons and because I’m working on getting a job in the tech space now, I’m no longer working on this project.
