What This Skill Does

The Weather Data Fetcher skill allows your OpenClaw agent to access real-time meteorological information using the Open-Meteo API. This skill is a powerful tool for agents that need to consider environmental factors when executing tasks. By leveraging open data, it provides both current weather status and future forecasts, including temperature, precipitation, and wind conditions, without the need for complex API key management or subscription fees. It effectively turns your agent into an intelligent weather station that can inform scheduling, travel planning, or outdoor logistical operations.

Installation

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

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/noypearl/get-weather

Once installed, the agent will register the weather forecast command, making it available for immediate use in your conversational workflows.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for several practical applications. You can use it to build 'smart assistant' workflows, such as automatically checking if it will rain before suggesting a commute route. It is also excellent for event planning, where an agent might analyze a multi-day forecast to suggest the best time for an outdoor meeting. Furthermore, it aids in personal productivity by allowing the agent to provide 'morning briefing' summaries that include weather outlooks alongside calendar events, helping users prepare for their day efficiently.

Example Prompts

1. 'Check the weather forecast for London and let me know if I need an umbrella tomorrow.'
2. 'What is the current temperature and expected high for a location at latitude 40.71 and longitude -74.00?'
3. 'Get me a 5-day weather report for Tokyo and summarize the daily highs in Celsius.'

Tips & Limitations

To get the best results, ensure your latitude and longitude coordinates are accurate, as the API relies heavily on these for precise reporting. The skill defaults to 'metric' units, but you can explicitly pass 'imperial' in the input if you prefer Fahrenheit. Note that while this is a highly reliable free service, it is intended for informational purposes and should not be used for critical safety-related decision-making or aviation navigation. If you are experiencing data delays, check your internet connectivity, as the skill requires active network access to query the remote API.
