Use Your Location

When you click the geolocation button (to the left of the search field) and allow Weather A11y access, you'll get the forecast for whereever you may be.

Note: if you are using a VPN, this may interfere with the accuracy of the geolocation, and your location will not automatically update when you load the app again. You will need to click the geolocation button again in order to update the forecast for your new location.

Change Units

Click the 'current units' button and you're all set! If you change the units before submitting a location, the weather data will be returned in the selected units. If you change the units for the currently dispalyed weather, a new API request will be made.
