Can I compare the answer of a prompt to properties of objects in an array?

I am trying to match the result of a prompt with properties of various objects in an array. (I.e if city entered matches the name of one of the objects listed, return the coinciding temp)

let cities = [
  {
    name: "San Luis Obispo",
    temp: 16,
    uv: 1,
    humidity: 5,
    elevation: 28,
    wind: 2,
  },
  {
    name: "Morro Bay",
    temp: 11,
    uv: 2,
    humidity: 8,
    elevation: 1,
    wind: 8,
  }]

let city = prompt("Enter a city");
if (city === cities.name){
  alert(`It is currently ${temp}°C in ${city}`);
}

let cityName = prompt("Enter a city");
const city = cities.find(cityX => {
    return cityName === cityX.name
})
if (city){
  alert(`It is currently ${city.temp}°C in ${cityName}`);

Try this

let city = prompt("Enter a city");
Cities.forEach(current=>{
if (city.trim() === current.name){
  alert(`It is currently ${current.temp}°C in ${city}`);
} 
})

run a for loop over the array of objects ( cities ), checking each city in the array:

let cities = [{
    name: "San Luis Obispo",
    temp: 16,
    uv: 1,
    humidity: 5,
    elevation: 28,
    wind: 2,
},
{
    name: "Morro Bay",
    temp: 11,
    uv: 2,
    humidity: 8,
    elevation: 1,
    wind: 8,
}
]

let city = prompt("Enter a city");
for (let i = 0; i < cities.length; i++) {
    if (city == cities[i].name) {
        alert(`It is currently ${cities[i].temp}°C in ${city}`);
    }
}
