SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, bash, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provide a concise, repeatable way to query Chinese weather endpoints and translate area codes or station coordinates into minute-level, hourly, and multi-day forecast data so users can obtain timely local weather information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • City search and area codes: examples to look up the numeric city identifier required by many Chinese weather endpoints.
  • Multiple forecast levels: minute-level precipitation, hourly weather (temperature, humidity, wind, pressure), and 15-day summaries with life indices and alerts.
  • Station information and alerts: fetch station geolocation and meteorological warnings to support precise local forecasts and alerting workflows.
  • Use case: find the city code for 黄埔 and fetch minute rainfall data and the next 15 days of temperature and alert status for integration into a dashboard.

Quick Start

Fetch the next 24-hour and 15-day weather forecast for 黄埔 (Huangpu), including temperatures, precipitation, humidity, wind, and any active alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions about weather

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get Chinese hourly weather forecasts using curl?

Chinese hourly weather forecasts are retrieved by executing curl-compatible HTTP requests against remote endpoints. A provided shell script handles domain and timestamp substitution, returning JSON fields containing temperature, humidity, wind, and pressure data for parsing.

Can I fetch minute-level precipitation data for a specific Chinese city?

Minute-level precipitation data is available for Chinese locations. You must first look up the specific numeric city area code, then use that identifier in the HTTP request to retrieve precise, minute-by-minute rainfall forecasts.

What weather data is available for a 15-day forecast in China?

15-day weather forecasts for China include daily summaries, temperatures, precipitation, humidity, wind conditions, and active meteorological alerts. The endpoint also provides life indices and station geolocation to support local forecast integration.

Do I need bash to parse the weather API responses?

Bash is required to execute the provided shell script that constructs the curl HTTP requests. The script substitutes domain names and timestamps dynamically, returning raw JSON or HTML response fields that you can parse with standard command-line tools.

How do I find the area code needed to query Chinese weather endpoints?

City search functionality allows you to look up the numeric city identifier required by Chinese weather endpoints. You query the endpoint with a city name like Huangpu to retrieve its specific area code before fetching forecast data.

What limitations exist when fetching weather alerts for China area codes?

Weather alerts and station information are restricted to valid Chinese area codes. The system relies on remote HTTP endpoints, so accurate area code mapping is required to retrieve meteorological warnings and precise local station geolocation data.
