+
+Once you're happy with how the page looks, let's get rid of the hardcoded temperatures and other values, and put in a sample JSON file. This means your app will read those values locally, from a static JSON file you should include in your project.
+
+You can use this JSON file: https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=M%C3%BCnchen,DE&appid=b6907d289e10d714a6e88b30761fae22. Copy all contents into a new file and add it to your project.
+
+This JSON represents weather data for **just one city**.
+
+It includes **a `list` array containing the weather forecast for the next 24 hours, split into 8 x 3-hour chunks** 
+Each object inside `list` contains a `weather` array with an object that looks like this:
+
+```
+"weather": [
+  {
+    "id": 521,
+    "main": "Rain",
+    "description": "shower rain",
+    "icon": "09d"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Read the values you're displaying on your page from this file.
+
+Now you've got your JSON sorted, it's time to fetch some real weather data!
