In many real-world applications, you need to fetch data from several sources at once. Imagine you are building a weather dashboard that shows the current temperature for multiple cities. Instead of waiting for each city’s data to arrive one after another, you can use Python’s `asyncio` to fetch all the data concurrently, making your program much faster and more responsive. By simulating each weather data fetch as an asynchronous function that waits a random amount of time, you can see how `asyncio.gather` lets you run all these tasks together and collect their results as soon as they’re ready.
