Project Title
Weather Now: Weather Forecasting Mobile Application

Problem Statement
Weather directly impacts human behaviour, productivity, safety, agriculture, logistics, and
planning — especially in countries like Bangladesh, where climatic patterns are rapidly
shifting due to climate change, urbanization, and monsoon variability. Whether it’s a
student trying to avoid being drenched in a sudden downpour on the way to class, or a
farmer in Bogura waiting for the right moment to irrigate his paddy fields, weather
awareness isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Proposed Solution
To address this glaring gap, I propose the creation of Weather Now, a modern, intuitive,
ultra-lightweight, bilingual weather application that is built with Bangladesh in mind, but
scalable globally.

Scope of the Project

Objectives
o To develop a fully functional, cross-platform mobile application using Flutter that
displays real-time weather updates based on the user’s exact location using GPS.
o To integrate WeatherAPI.com for retrieving detailed weather data, including hourly
and weekly forecasts, wind speed, air pressure, visibility, humidity, UV index, cloud
cover, and more.
o To create a bilingual user interface (Bangla and English) that adapts to user
preference, increasing accessibility for diverse demographics across
Bangladesh.Market Analysis

Target Audience and Market Demand

Weather Now is targeted toward everyday mobile users in Bangladesh, which, as of 2024,
includes more than 125 million smartphone users. Specific segments include:
 o Urban commuters who need hourly updates to plan trips, especially in flood-prone
cities like Dhaka or Sylhet.
o Farmers and rural workers, where 65% of Bangladesh’s population lives and
weather affects agriculture, livestock, and harvesting.
o Educational institutions, where students and faculty want to avoid rain-related
disruptions.
o Delivery and logistics professionals whose daily operations depend on climate
awareness.

Competitor Analysis
I. AccuWeather: Accurate but not optimized for Bangla users or low-data
environments. Ad-heavy.
II. Google Weather: Clean, but lacks detail and isn’t user-configurable. No Bangla UI.
III. Weather Channel: Feature-rich but slow, and often overengineered for casual
users.
IV. Windy: Great for radar and professionals, but too complex for the average user.
V. Local weather sites: Limited mobile accessibility, outdated interfaces, and no push
notifications.

Features
Key Functionalities and Highlights

1. Real-Time Weather Panel: Live temperature, feels-like temp, condition (sunny,

rainy, cloudy), and background changes dynamically based on conditions.
2. Forecast Dashboard: Hourly and 7-day forecast with precipitation chance,
sunrise/sunset, moon phase, and wind gusts.
3. Location-Aware Updates: Automatically fetches weather for the current location
using geolocator, but also allows manual city/district search (e.g., Jessore, Sylhet,
Comilla).
4. Bilingual Interface: Toggle easily between Bangla and English; Bangla fonts
carefully designed for legibility and balance.
5. Offline Mode: Recent city data stored in shared_preferences or hive, shown even
without a live internet connection.
6. Push Notifications: Weather warnings, heat index alerts, rainstorm alerts — with
future support for SMS-based alerts for rural use.
 7. Minimal UI: Beautiful, icon-rich, smooth scrolling UI. No ads, no distractions.
Optimized for one-hand use.

Conclusion

Summary and Expected Outcomes

Weather Now is more than just another weather app — it’s a response to a real, daily
problem in our region. It brings smart tech, relevant data, and a beautifully simple
experience together to offer a tool that empowers everyday users — no matter where they
are or how tech-savvy they may be.
