Title: Add Recent Search History Feature for Better User Experience

Description

Currently, users need to enter a city name every time they want to check the weather. Adding a recent search history feature would improve usability by allowing users to quickly access previously searched locations.

Problem

• Users must repeatedly type city names.
• No quick way to revisit recently searched locations.
• Reduces convenience for frequent users.

Proposed Solution

Implement a "Recent Searches" section that:

• Stores the last 5–10 searched cities.
• Displays them below the search bar.
• Allows users to click a city to fetch its weather data again.
• Provides an option to clear search history.

Benefits

• Improves user experience.
• Reduces repetitive typing.
• Makes navigation faster and more user-friendly.

Possible Implementation

• Use Local Storage to save searched city names.
• Retrieve and display saved cities on page load.
• Update the list whenever a new city is searched.

Acceptance Criteria

• Recent searches are saved in Local Storage.
• Previously searched cities are displayed.
• Clicking a city fetches its weather information.
• Clear history option is available.
• Feature works across page refreshes.
