What This Skill Does

The Weather skill for OpenClaw is a highly intelligent, real-time meteorological assistant. It allows users to retrieve precise weather data for any global location, including current temperature, feels-like conditions, wind speed, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Beyond simple data retrieval, this skill leverages the OpenClaw agent's reasoning engine to analyze raw data—such as air quality (AQI), UV indices, and precipitation probabilities—to provide tailored, context-aware advice. Whether you are planning a commute, an outdoor trip, or need to know how to dress for the day, the weather skill provides both the raw technical data and actionable, personalized suggestions.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/congwupiece/free-weather-api

Ensure that you have the latest version of the OpenClaw runtime installed to guarantee compatibility with the underlying API handlers and schema definitions.

Use Cases

• Daily Routine Planning: Quickly check if you need a coat or an umbrella before heading out to work.
• Travel Preparation: Research weather trends in your destination city for the next 7 days to pack appropriately.
• Health and Safety: Monitor high-risk weather conditions such as extreme heat, poor air quality, or UV levels to protect your health.
• Event Organization: Use the precipitation and wind forecasts to determine if outdoor events, like picnics or photography sessions, are viable.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the weather in Beijing for the next three days and tell me if I need to wear a mask due to air quality."
2. "What's the current weather in Shanghai, and should I bring an umbrella for my commute today?"
3. "Give me a detailed weather report for Tokyo for the next week, highlighting any days that might be bad for outdoor activities."

Tips & Limitations

• Precision: For best results, specify the city clearly. If the city name is ambiguous, include the region or province (e.g., 'Paris, Texas' instead of just 'Paris').
• Forecast Accuracy: Note that weather predictions become less reliable the further out you query. A 3-day forecast is generally more accurate than a 7-day forecast.
• Data Refresh: The system provides live updates, but please allow for short delays in server synchronization. If an alert is critical, always verify with local emergency services or official meteorological bureaus.
