Workflow

Step 1: Determine Location

Ask for location if not provided. Accept:

• City names: "Beijing", "London", "New York"
• City + Country: "Paris, France"
• Airport codes: "PEK", "LAX", "JFK"

Step 2: Fetch 3-Day Weather Data

Use wttr.in to get forecast data:

bash

# JSON format for parsing (recommended)
curl -s "wttr.in/{LOCATION}?format=j1"

# Human-readable 3-day forecast
curl -s "wttr.in/{LOCATION}"

Extract key data for each day:

• Today (day 0): Current + today's forecast
• Tomorrow (day 1): Full day forecast
• Day After (day 2): Full day forecast

Step 3: Parse Weather Data

From JSON response, extract for each day:

Temperature:

• Max temperature (maxtempC or maxtempF)
• Min temperature (mintempC or mintempF)
• Average temperature (avgtempC or avgtempF)

Conditions:

• Weather description (weatherDesc)
• Precipitation probability (hourly[].chanceofrain)
• Humidity (humidity)

Wind:

• Wind speed (windspeedKmph or windspeedMiles)
• Wind direction (winddir16Point)

Additional:

• UV index (uvIndex)
• Visibility (visibility)
• Sunrise/Sunset times

Step 4: Analyze Weather Trends

Perform comparative analysis across the 3 days:

Temperature Trend:

• Rising 📈, Falling 📉, or Stable ➡️
• Note significant changes (>5°C swing)

Precipitation Analysis:

• Rain probability for each day
• Identify wet days (>50% chance)
• Recommend rain gear timing

Weather Patterns:

• Identify improving or deteriorating conditions
• Note any severe weather warnings
• Highlight ideal windows for outdoor activities

Step 5: Generate Insights & Recommendations

Based on the analysis, provide actionable advice:

🌡️ Temperature Comfort:

Step 6: Pet-Friendly Analysis

Provide specialized recommendations for pet owners:

🐕 Pet Temperature Safety:

• High temperature (>30°C): Avoid midday walks, choose early morning or evening

• UV-avoidance timing
• Precipitation-safe windows

🌧️ Pet Rain Protection:

• Rain gear recommendations (pet raincoats)

🔥 Ground Safety:

• Hot pavement testing (use back of hand)
• Ice/salt exposure risks
• Paw protection measures

☀️ UV Protection for Pets:
