Syntax Errors after running code in "yourplayground.js"

Question:
What is this error message SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'else' (at yourPlayground.js:36:1). I copied code exactly as the tutorial showed me. Although, I am getting this error message when the video guy doesn’t.

The following is code that I am trying to run. Why do I get syntax error after hitting the run button?

let weather = 'sunny'

if (weather == 'rain') {
console.log('grab your umbrella')
else{
console.log('wear your sunglasses')
}

You did not close the if statement in your code, so when it saw the else block, it threw an error. Try closing the if before you open the else.
