| 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¤t_weather=true&timezone=auto
Workflow
- Determine input type: location name or lat/lon.
- If location name is provided, geocode first (use the Open-Meteo geocoding API).
- Call the forecast endpoint with
current_weather=true and timezone=auto.
- 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.
