Weather Tools

What This Skill Does

The Weather Tools skill is a powerful, lightweight utility for OpenClaw that integrates directly with wttr.in to provide real-time meteorological data. Because it leverages a robust community-maintained service, it functions without the need for cumbersome API keys or registration processes. This tool allows your AI agent to fetch current temperatures, multi-day forecasts, wind speeds, moon phases, and location-specific atmospheric data directly from the terminal. By utilizing standard curl requests, the skill ensures high compatibility and speed, returning human-readable weather reports that the AI can parse and summarize for the user. It is the perfect solution for users who need weather context in their workflows without adding overhead or external service management to their infrastructure.

Installation

To integrate the Weather Tools skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the 'curl' binary installed on your host system. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/164149043/weather-tools

Once installed, the skill becomes immediately available for your agent to execute via internal shell commands. No further configuration or environment variables are required to begin fetching data.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for various automation scenarios. For developers, it can provide context-aware terminal greetings or environment-based build triggers. For productivity-focused agents, it can be used to set the tone for daily briefings, helping users decide on attire or travel plans based on current conditions. It is also an excellent tool for location-based automation, such as preparing commute estimates that include weather delay risks or planning outdoor events based on 3-day forecast accuracy.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current weather in London and give me a brief summary of what to expect for the rest of the day."
2. "Can you give me the 3-day forecast for New York and tell me if I should expect high winds?"
3. "What is the current temperature and moon phase in Tokyo right now?"

Tips & Limitations

While extremely fast, remember that this skill relies on the availability of the public wttr.in service. If you require critical, enterprise-grade weather data for sensitive production workflows, consider fallback mechanisms. Because the tool uses shell-based curl requests, avoid injecting untrusted user input directly into location strings to prevent command injection risks. For cleaner output, leverage the '?format=' parameters provided by the tool to retrieve specific data points like only temperature or wind speeds, which makes it easier for the AI to present the information clearly to you in a chat interface.
