5. 1.Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to layout the requirements for the system. The document will describe how the
product will collect and display local weather data and analyze the weather forecast. This product will be of use
to the society.
1.2 Scope
The product is named Accuweather.com. It will be able to collect and display local weather data, analyze
weather forecast and display a live stream of the local weather. The product will be able to predict the weather.
The product will be accessible through a website where you will have the benefit of seeing what the weather
looks like outside and see if the walkways have been shoveled. The main goal is to have a website that will
give you information about the weather. We can use the following;

2 .Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
The Accuweather.com will be using ideas based on weatherUSA (www.weatherusa.net) and the National
Weather Service (www.weather.gov). Both of these websites use cameras to show live feeds of the weather in
various locations.

8. 2.1.1 System Interfaces
The user interface for the project will host a website that will have the live feed along with the information
about the weather. This website will be using HTML and ASP along with CSS to add colors and order to the
website.
2.1.2 Operations
The website will host a live video feed of the weather and also a live status of the weather from a weather
website. The video feed will be live and up-to-date.
This service aims at providing disaggregated district/block level information in eachagroecological
sub-region on forecast weather.
2.2 Product Functions
The Accuweather.com will collect and display the local weather data from the live video feed. It will also
analyze the weather forecast to allow users to know what to expect for the forecast for that day. The
Accuweather.com will also have a link to a weather website where it will show the current temperatures along
with a 5-day forecast.
Features:
•Smart Dissemination System
•Feedback option for end users

10. 2.5 Constraints
The constraints for the project will rely on the amount of disk space that is use for storing the images, videos or
the forecasts. There is also a network constraint for the internet speeds and how fast the website will run.
2.6 Geographical Information System ‘GIS’
•‘GIS’system captures, integrates, stores, edits, analyzes, shares, and displays geographic information.
•It is digitally creates and "manipulates"
•It is digitally creates and "manipulates" spatial areas.
•Allow users to create interactive queries, analyze spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results
of all these operations.
