open-meteo-weather

What This Skill Does

The open-meteo-weather skill provides OpenClaw agents with the ability to retrieve accurate, real-time meteorological data for virtually any location on Earth. By integrating directly with the Open-Meteo API, this skill eliminates the need for expensive API keys or complex authentication processes. It includes a robust geocoding feature that allows users to simply provide a city name, which the agent then resolves to precise geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) before querying the weather service. Beyond current conditions, the skill provides a comprehensive 7-day daily forecast, including temperature ranges, precipitation data, wind speeds, and sunrise/sunset times, ensuring users have a complete outlook for their travel or planning needs.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your agent, use the OpenClaw command line interface. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/deiu/open-meteo-weather

Once installed, the agent will automatically handle unit preference initialization. During the first interaction, the agent is programmed to prompt you for your preferred temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit) to ensure the experience remains personalized throughout your session.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for personal assistants and planning agents. For example, a travel-focused agent can use it to suggest optimal clothing based on 7-day temperature trends. A scheduling agent can check local weather to determine if an outdoor event is viable. Finally, remote workers can monitor weather conditions at their office locations to coordinate global team meetings.

Example Prompts

1. "What is the current weather in Tokyo, and will it rain over the weekend?"
2. "Can you give me a 7-day forecast for Seattle? Please use Fahrenheit."
3. "Is it going to be sunny in Paris on Wednesday? I am planning a picnic."

Tips & Limitations

• Precision: If your search query returns multiple locations (e.g., "Springfield"), the agent will automatically narrow the search using a higher result count to offer you a list of specific matches.
• Units: If you do not explicitly state your unit preference, the system defaults to metric (Celsius/km/h). You can adjust your preference at any time during the session.
• Usage: This API is free for non-commercial use. If you intend to integrate this into a high-traffic commercial application, please review the Open-Meteo Terms of Service for scaling requirements. If a location is not found, verify the spelling or include the country/state name to assist the geocoder.
