The Weather Application is a Java-based software solution designed to provide users with real-time weather data and forecasts. Leveraging JavaFX for its graphical user interface and MySQL for efficient data storage, this application offers a seamless user experience with robust data management capabilities.

JavaFX GUI: Utilizes the JavaFX library to create an intuitive and visually appealing user interface.

Relational Database: Employs MySQL to store and manage weather data efficiently, ensuring scalability and reliability.

Open Weather APIs: Integrates Open Weather's free-to-use APIs to fetch current weather data, 5-day forecasts, and air pollution information. The application utilizes CurrentWeatherAPI,

WeatherForecast5dayAPI, and AirPollutionAPI for data retrieval. Comprehensive documentation for these APIs can be found here.

InterfaceAPI: Implements a common interface across all APIs, enhancing modularity and maintainability.

Project_UML: Contains UML diagrams including Sequence and Class diagrams, providing insights into the application's design and architecture.

Src: Houses all the source code for the application.

AppUI: Implements individual user interfaces, including terminal UI and GUI, ensuring versatility in user interaction.

Business Logic: Houses core logic for data exchange between the database (txt or SQL) and user interface, ensuring seamless communication and data integrity.

OpenWeatherAPI: Contains source code for calling Open Weather APIs, facilitating real-time data retrieval and processing.

WeatherAppRunner: Serves as the main control for running the application, orchestrating various components for seamless execution.

WeatherDataStorage: Manages SQL connections, SQL commands for table creation, and schema creation logic. Additionally, it handles data retrieval from SQL databases and txt files, ensuring efficient data management and accessibility.

To run the Weather Application:
