Assumptions made

Input

When a user wants to see the local weather in any city, he will type in the location or city name. He could also type in City name, abbr of Country too. Eg: Sydney,AU

Units

For this version of the app, the user will use metric units for viewing weather info. In future, we can have a feature to change user unit preferences.

TODO

The XAxis labels and tooltips of the graph could have been more tweaked for better usability. Right now, they are showing bare info.
