Weather Skill

Fetch current weather and forecasts via Open-Meteo (Python script) or wttr.in (curl).

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

• "What's the weather in Tokyo?"
• "Will it rain in London today?"
• "5-day forecast for New York"
• "Temperature and wind in Paris"
• "Is it snowing in Boston?"
• User asks about temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, or conditions for any place

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

• Historical weather data → use specialized historical APIs
• Severe weather alerts or warnings → use official weather alert services
• Detailed meteorological analysis → use professional weather tools

Usage/Commands

Option A — Python script (Open-Meteo)

python {skill_path}/weather.py "City Name" [options]

Options:

• --forecast 3 — include N-day forecast (default: current only)
• --format json — output as JSON (default: human-readable text)
• --units imperial — use Fahrenheit/mph (default: metric)

Option B — wttr.in (curl, no Python needed)

# Current weather for a city
curl -s "wttr.in/CityName?format=%l%20%t%20%h%20%w%20%c"

# Human-readable output (default)
curl -s "wttr.in/CityName"

# JSON output
curl -s "wttr.in/CityName?format=j1"

# 3-day forecast
curl -s "wttr.in/CityName?2"

Examples

• "What's the weather in Tokyo?" → python {skill_path}/weather.py "Tokyo" or curl -s wttr.in/Tokyo
• "5-day forecast for New York" → python {skill_path}/weather.py "New York" --forecast 5
• "Weather in Paris in Fahrenheit" → python {skill_path}/weather.py "Paris" --units imperial

Notes

• Open-Meteo geocodes city names and returns temperature, humidity, wind, condition, and precipitation
• wttr.in supports city names, airport codes, and lat/long in the URL path
• Both approaches are free and require no API key
