# Weather Skill
Get current weather conditions and forecasts.
## When to Use
**USE this skill when:**
- "What's the weather?"
- "Will it rain today/tomorrow?"
- "Temperature in [city]"
- "Weather forecast for the week"
- Travel planning weather checks
## When NOT to Use
**DON'T use this skill when:**
- Historical weather data → use weather archives/APIs
- Climate analysis or trends → use specialized data sources
- Hyper-local microclimate data → use local sensors
- Severe weather alerts → check official NWS sources
- Aviation/marine weather → use specialized services (METAR, etc.)
## Location
Always include a city, region, or airport code in weather queries.
## Commands
### Current Weather
```bash
# One-line summary
curl "wttr.in/London?format=3"
# Detailed current conditions
curl "wttr.in/London?0"
# Specific city
curl "wttr.in/New+York?format=3"
```
### Forecasts
```bash
# 3-day forecast
curl "wttr.in/London"
# Week forecast
curl "wttr.in/London?format=v2"
# Specific day (0=today, 1=tomorrow, 2=day after)
curl "wttr.in/London?1"
```
### Format Options
```bash
# One-liner
curl "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%t+%w"
# JSON output
curl "wttr.in/London?format=j1"
# PNG image
curl "wttr.in/London.png"
```
### Format Codes
- `%c` — Weather condition emoji
- `%t` — Temperature
- `%f` — "Feels like"
- `%w` — Wind
- `%h` — Humidity
- `%p` — Precipitation
- `%l` — Location
## Quick Responses
**"What's the weather?"**
```bash
curl -s "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%t+(feels+like+%f),+%w+wind,+%h+humidity"
```
**"Will it rain?"**
```bash
curl -s "wttr.in/London?format=%l:+%c+%p"
```
**"Weekend forecast"**
```bash
curl "wttr.in/London?format=v2"
```
## Notes
- No API key needed (uses wttr.in)
- Rate limited; don't spam requests
- Works for most global cities
- Supports airport codes: `curl wttr.in/ORD`
