 INTRODUCTION

1.1. Identification of Client /Need / Relevant Contemporary issue

A weather forecasting app is essentially a tool that helps individual or an organization

to track the weather conditions. By using a weather forecasting app, individual can see

the weather condition or alerts of any natural disaster in the app, tracking them over

time. This can be especially useful for people who are living in natural disaster-prone

areas like Philippines.

Real-time weather monitoring is essential for disaster management agencies to predict,

track and respond to severe weather events such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and

droughts. With timely and accurate information on the weather, the agency can take

preventive measures to mitigate the impact of these disasters on communities and

minimize loss of life and property damage.

Climate change has made weather patterns more unpredictable and extreme, making it

more critical for disaster management agencies to have access to real-time weather data.

The increase in the frequency and intensity of weather-related disasters around the world

makes it imperative for agencies to have the latest technology and tools to monitor and

track these events to protect communities.

1.2. Identification of Problem

One of the main challenges in real-time weather forecasting is the availability and
reliability of data. Weather forecasting relies heavily on accurate and up-to-date data,
which is gathered from various sources, including satellites, radars, and ground-based
weather stations. However, there are often gaps in the data due to limited coverage,
 equipment failure, or human error. Additionally, some regions of the world may have
inadequate or outdated weather infrastructure, which makes it difficult to gather reliable
data.

Another challenge is the complexity of weather systems, which can make it challenging
to predict the timing and severity of weather events accurately. Advanced modelling
techniques and algorithms are needed to analyse vast amounts of data and produce
reliable forecasts.

Other websites don’t have a user-friendly interface and are not easy to navigate.

1.3. Identification of Tasks

Developed a weather website that provides accurate and real-time information about the
weather conditions in different areas.

1. Website display the current temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction for each
location covered.

2. Users are able to search for weather information by entering the name of a city or town.

3. The website have a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate.

4. Website is optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.

5. It provide weather alerts for severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms,

hurricanes, and tornadoes.

6. It provide a 5-day weather forecast for each location.

7. The website is reliable and regularly updated to ensure that the information provided
is current and accurate.

a problem or needs that someone (e.g. a client or consultancy) needs to have resolved. The issue
would be justified through documentation or a survey.

1.2 Identification of Problem: This section involves identifying the broad problem that needs to
be resolved. It will not include any hints of a solution, but rather define the problem statement
clearly and concisely.

1.3 Identification of Tasks: This section involves defining and differentiating the tasks required
to identify, build, and test the solution. This will build a framework for the report, and identify
the chapters, headings, and subheadings.

1.4 Timeline: This section involves defining the timeline for the project. It will include the major
milestones and deadlines for completing the tasks identified in the previous section.
1.5 Organization of the Report: This section involves giving a brief overview of what should be
expected in each of the chapters of the report. It is providing a roadmap for us and the project
supervisor and includes the main topics that will be covered in each chapter. This helps to ensure
that the report is organized and structured in a clear and logical manner.

Chapter 2:

Gives the literature review or the background study. It is divided into six subparts

that includes the timeline of the reported problem, also the existing solutions, the review
summary, the problem definition, and lastly the goals or the objectives of the project.

2.1 Timeline of the Reported Problem: This section involves identifying when the problem at
hand was first identified and any relevant incidents or cases that have occurred. It is important to
provide documentary proof of these incidents to support the research and understanding of the
problem.

2.2 Existing Solutions: This section involves reviewing earlier proposed solutions to the problem
at hand. This could include analysing research papers, patents, and other relevant documents to
understand the existing solutions and their effectiveness.

2.3 Review Summary: This section involves summarizing the findings of the literature review
and linking them to the project at hand. It would provide a comprehensive overview of the
existing research and identify any gaps in the literature that the project aims to address.

2.4 Problem Definition: This section involves defining the problem at hand, including what
needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and what should not be done. This should be a clear
and concise statement of the research problem and its objectives.

2.5 Goals/Objectives: This section involves setting the milestones during the course of the
project work. The goals and objectives should be narrow, specific, and precise intentions that are
tangible, concrete, and can be validated or measured. They should be aligned with the problem
definition and aim to address the research gaps identified in the literature review.

Chapter 3:

Gives the idea of the project through design flow. Here, evaluation and selection
of specifications, design constraints, analysis of features, and finalization subject to
constraints, design flow, design selection, and implementation are listed down and shown
for good understanding.
3.1 Evaluation & Selection of Specifications/Features: This step involves critically evaluating
the features identified in the literature and preparing a list of features required in the solution.
This includes understanding the user requirements, analysing the existing software systems, and
identifying the features that will provide the most value to the end users.

3.2 Design Constraints: This step involves identifying the various design constraints that the
solution must adhere to. This includes considering the regulatory, economic, professional,
ethical, social, and political issues, as well as the cost considerations in the design. It is important
to consider all the constraints that are relevant to the project, to ensure that the final solution is
practical and effective.

3.3 Analysis of Features and Finalization subject to Constraints: This step involves analyzing the
features identified in step 3.1 and modifying them considering the constraints identified in step
3.2. This involves removing features that are not feasible or do not add significant value to the
solution, modifying features to meet the constraints, and adding new features that will help to
meet the constraints and improve the solution.

3.4 Design Flow: This step involves creating at least two alternative designs/processes/flows to
make the solution/complete the project. This is important to ensure that the final solution is
optimal and meets the user's requirements. The alternative designs should be compared based on
their advantages and disadvantages, feasibility, and cost, among other factors.

3.5 Design Selection: This step involves analysing the alternative designs created in step 3.4 and
selecting the best design based on a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages,
feasibility, and cost, among other factors. The selected design should meet all the requirements
and constraints identified in steps 3.1 to 3.3.

3.6 Implementation Plan/Methodology: This step involves creating a detailed flowchart,

algorithm, or block diagram to implement the selected design. This will help to ensure that the
implementation process is efficient, effective, and meets all the requirements and constraints
identified in the earlier steps. The plan should be clear, concise, and easy to understand so that it
can be followed by the development team.
