research

topic- weather in UK and Ireland

i have chose this topic as this personally would be the dashboard i use the most especially when going somewhere warm or cold to see what the weather is like. also weather dashboards can be created very visually which i want to create a visual perfect dashboard and not so much a traditional dashboard. i want this project to be vibrant and different to a normal weather dashboard.

for research i have started by looking at apple weather app for analytics, met weather and bbc weather to gain a sense of what i need for my own dashboard.

here are some exmaples of websites and screenshots of all three weather websites i will be using as a guide for my own project
