To make it easier to change the external weather service and to make the code more testable, we will create an interface for the service. Here's how we go about it:

2. Create a new public interface and name it IWeatherService.
3. Add a method for fetching data based on the location of the user, as shown in the following code. Name the method GetForecast:

 public interface IWeatherService {      Task<Forecast> GetForecast(double latitude, double longitude); }
