Provides real-time local weather, forecasts, alerts, and historical data with unit conversion, using a configurable API key for privacy-focused, fast access.

My Local Weather Skill

Description

A robust, local-first weather information skill for OpenClaw. This skill provides real-time weather forecasts, current conditions, and alerts by querying reliable meteorological APIs. It is designed to be fast, privacy-conscious, and highly configurable.

Capabilities

• Current Weather: Retrieve temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, and visibility for any location.
• Forecasts: Get hourly forecasts for the next 24 hours and daily forecasts for up to 7 days.
• Weather Alerts: Fetch active severe weather warnings (storms, heatwaves, floods) for specific regions.
• Historical Data: Access past weather data for analysis (optional, depending on API key).
• Unit Conversion: Automatically handle conversions between Metric (Celsius, km/h) and Imperial (Fahrenheit, mph) units based on user preference or location.

Usage Examples

• "What's the weather like in Tokyo right now?"
• "Will it rain in London tomorrow morning?"
• "Give me a 3-day forecast for New York City."
• "Are there any storm warnings in Florida?"
• "What is the humidity and wind speed in Berlin?"

Configuration

This skill requires an API key for the weather provider (e.g., OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI).

1. Obtain an API key from your preferred provider.
2. Set the environment variable WEATHER_API_KEY or configure it in your .env file within the skill directory.
3. Optionally set WEATHER_UNITS to 'metric' or 'imperial'.

Technical Details

• Runtime: Node.js
• Dependencies: Axios (for HTTP requests), dotenv (for config)
• Privacy: No user data is stored; all requests are proxied directly from the user's machine to the weather API.

Troubleshooting

• If you see "API Key Missing", ensure WEATHER_API_KEY is set correctly.
• If location lookup fails, try using city names instead of coordinates, or vice versa.
