I use the switch statement in my code often, I read about the object and a lot of developers say that is better to use. I want to use less code, do you guys know an alternative way of making this code more efficient?

full code link here – https://jsfiddle.net/lmanhaes/5ebjypo1/

I shared two examples below that I would like to change.

Many thanks. 

//fisrt example
$(document).ready(function () {

    $("#country").change(function () {
        var cityName;
        var select = $("#country option:selected").val(); 
        switch (select) {
            case "England":
                cityName = "england";
                city(cityName);
                break;
            case "Scotland":
                cityName = "scotland";
                city(cityName);
                break;
            case "Wales":
                cityName = "wales";
                city(cityName);
                break;
            case "Northern Ireland":
                cityName = "nireland";
                city(cityName);
                break;
            default:
                $("#city").empty();

                break;
        }
    });

    $("#city").change(function () { 
        var cityValue = $("#city").val();
        getWeatherApi(cityValue);
    });
    
 //second example
    
    $.each(response.weather, function (index, value) {  
                    cond = response.weather[index].main;

                    

                    switch (cond) {
