Playground Modify the weather app so that the `units` (for the measurement unit) query param is dependent on the current location.

Overview

The weather app does an API call to OpenWeatherMap to get the current data.
The endpoint requires units (metric or imperial) as one of the query parameters.
For instance, we can make an API call to an endpoint that gives the country code (e.g. US, GB, etc.) given the coordinates (latitude and longitude).

Mocked `screenly.js`

The coordinates are not that precise. They're autogenerated by GitHub Copilot.

const getCoordinates = (area) => {
  switch (area) {
    case 'San Francisco':
      return [
        '37.7749',
        '-122.4194'
      ]
    case 'Manila':
      return [
        '14.5995',
        '120.9842'
      ]
    case 'Dijon':
      return [
        '47.3220',
        '5.0415'
      ]
    case 'New York':
      return [
        '40.7128',
        '-74.0060'
      ]
    default:
      return []
  }
}
