Weather TUI

Weather TUI is a terminal-based weather application built in Rust that displays a forecast using a text-based user interface. It fetches weather data from the Open Meteo API and visualizes daily maximum temperatures on a chart. By default, it shows the forecast for New York City, but you can specify any location using command line arguments.

Features

• Command Line Location: Specify a location using latitude and longitude.
• Default Location: Defaults to New York City if no location is specified.
• Weather Visualization: Displays a chart of daily maximum temperatures.
• Interactive Terminal UI: Navigate the application using terminal controls.
• Logging: Logs application activity to a file for easy debugging.
