SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl.

What problem does it solve? Getting quick, accurate weather information for a city, airport code, or coordinates requires querying an external service and parsing its response correctly. This Skill standardizes how to retrieve current conditions, rain, temperature, and multi-day forecasts from wttr.in without manual API research. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Current Conditions & Forecasts: Retrieve temperature, feels-like, precipitation, humidity, wind, and daily forecasts using wttr.in JSON output (format=j2/j1). - Dual Retrieval Paths: Prefer the web_fetch tool for safer fetching, with a curl fallback when web_fetch is unavailable or disabled. - Custom Format Strings: Use wttr.in format tokens (%l, %c, %t, %f, %w, %h, %p) for compact one-line summaries. - Use Case: Before planning a weekend trip, ask for the forecast in New York and get a summarized report of conditions, temperature range, and precipitation pulled from wttr.in. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant for the current weather and 3-day forecast for London using the weather skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about weather

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get the current weather for a city from the command line?▼

Query wttr.in with curl using a format string, for example: curl "https://wttr.in/London?format=3" for a short summary or "?format=j1" for full JSON. Quote the URL and prefer HTTPS for reliable results.

What JSON fields does wttr.in return for weather data?▼

The JSON response includes current_condition with temperature, feels-like, precipitation, humidity, and wind fields, plus a weather array with date, maxtempC, and mintempC for forecasts. Use format=j2 to omit bulky hourly data.

Should I use web_fetch or curl to fetch weather data?▼

Use web_fetch first when available, since it is safer than shell curl and handles output caps well. Fall back to curl only when web_fetch is unavailable or disabled, always quoting URLs and setting a timeout.

Why does wttr.in return HTML instead of JSON?▼

wttr.in serves browser-oriented HTML when it detects a browser-like User-Agent. Request JSON explicitly with format=j1 or j2 and use text extraction mode to avoid parsing HTML output.

When should I not use wttr.in for weather information?▼

Avoid wttr.in for severe weather alerts, aviation, marine, or official decisions, where official local weather services are required. It also does not provide historical climate data or hyper-local microclimate readings.
