description	Get current weather using the Open-Meteo API. Use for requests like “current weather in Boston,” “get weather for Medford, MA,” or any task that needs a quick current_weather lookup via Open-Meteo (by location name or lat/lon). Use when the user wants a direct API call or a tiny CLI flow to fetch current conditions.

Open-Meteo Weather

Overview

Fetch current weather from Open-Meteo with a tiny, deterministic flow. Prefer the script for repeatable calls; fall back to raw URL construction when asked for a direct API call.

Quick Start

• Use the script for location names:

/Users/ivancampos/.codex/skills/open-meteo-weather/scripts/open_meteo_current.py --location "Boston, MA"

• Use the script for explicit coordinates:

/Users/ivancampos/.codex/skills/open-meteo-weather/scripts/open_meteo_current.py --lat 42.3601 --lon -71.0589

• Provide a direct API call when the user requests a raw URL:

https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=42.3601&longitude=-71.0589&current_weather=true&timezone=auto

Workflow

1. Determine input type: location name or lat/lon.
2. If location name is provided, geocode first (use the Open-Meteo geocoding API).
3. Call the forecast endpoint with current_weather=true and timezone=auto.
4. Return JSON with location and a normalized current_weather object.
   • Include both temperature_c and temperature_f.
   • Use keys: windspeed_kmh, winddirection_deg, weathercode, is_day, time, interval.

Examples

• “Get current weather in Boston” → geocode, then call forecast.
• “Use this URL for Medford, MA” → provide direct forecast URL with given lat/lon.
