Bug: Live Weather Report always displays 0 mm rainfall regardless of selected location

[Mohitmhatre32]

Description

The Rainfall metric in the Live Weather Report consistently displays 0 mm for every location analyzed, even when the selected city is experiencing rainfall in real-world weather conditions.

I tested the application with multiple cities (including Palghar, Mumbai, and Pune) and observed that while other weather parameters such as Temperature, Humidity, and Wind Speed are updated correctly, the Rainfall value always remains 0 mm.

Since Climate Shield performs live weather analysis for climate risk assessment, displaying incorrect rainfall data can lead to inaccurate weather reports and potentially affect the reliability of the generated climate risk analysis.

To Reproduce

1. Open the Climate Shield application.
2. Enter any valid city name (for example: Palghar, Mumbai, or Pune).
3. Click on Analyze Climate Risk.
4. Wait for the weather analysis to complete.
5. Navigate to the Live Weather Report section.
6. Observe the Rainfall card.

Expected behavior

The Rainfall field should display the actual precipitation value returned by the weather service for the selected location.

For locations where rainfall is currently occurring, the displayed value should be greater than 0 mm.

The rainfall information should remain consistent with the rest of the live weather data (Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, etc.).

---

Actual behavior

The application always displays:

Rainfall
0 mm

regardless of the selected city.

This behavior persists across multiple locations that are known to be receiving rainfall at the time of testing.

Checklist

• I have checked existing issues before creating this one.

Additional context

Tested Locations

• Palghar, Maharashtra
• Mumbai, Maharashtra
• Pune, Maharashtra

Observations

• ✅ Temperature updates correctly.
• ✅ Humidity updates correctly.
• ✅ Wind Speed updates correctly.
• ❌ Rainfall always displays 0 mm.

Possible cause

This issue could be caused by one of the following:

• The weather API's rainfall/precipitation field is not being fetched.
• The rainfall value is not being parsed correctly before rendering.
• The frontend is defaulting to 0 mm whenever the precipitation field is missing.
• The API response contains rainfall data, but the UI does not display it correctly.

Because rainfall is an important parameter for climate and disaster risk assessment, this issue may affect the accuracy of the generated climate analysis.

Hi @Mohitmhatre32 👋

I'd love to work on this issue! Here's my approach:

• Root Cause Investigation: I'll inspect the weather API response to check if the precipitation or rainfall field is being returned correctly for the selected city.
• Frontend Fix: I'll trace the data flow from API response to the UI rendering layer in the Live Weather Report component to identify where the rainfall value is being dropped or defaulted to 0 mm.
• Parsing Fix: Ensure the rainfall field is correctly parsed and mapped before being passed to the display component.
• Testing: Test across multiple cities (Palghar, Mumbai, Pune, etc.) to verify accurate rainfall display after the fix.

I'm familiar with frontend debugging and API data handling. Looking forward to contributing!
