name: croatia-weather description: "Swiss-army knife for Croatian weather — 27 commands covering current conditions, forecasts (7-day, 3-day, 3-hourly, regional, outlook), warnings (CAP, heat/cold wave), agriculture (soil temp, frost, agro bulletin, weekly agro data), maritime (Adriatic nautical, maritime forecast, sea temp), hydrology (river temps, river levels, precipitation, snow), environment (UV index, fire danger, biometeo), climate (125-year averages, annual precipitation), and European weather. All data from DHMZ (Državni hidrometeorološki zavod). Use when: (1) user asks about weather in Croatia or any Croatian city, (2) 'home' / 'my location' → configured home station, (3) any Croatian forecast, warnings, bura, UV, sea temp, snow, fire danger, river levels, soil temp, agriculture, sailing, maritime. For locations outside Croatia and Europe → use the standard weather skill." metadata: {"openclaw":{"emoji":"🌦️","requires":{"bins":["python3"]}}}

Croatia Weather — DHMZ Data

Fetches official weather data from DHMZ (Državni hidrometeorološki zavod) via their free XML feeds. Data is licensed under Open Licence (data.gov.hr) — attribution: Izvor: DHMZ.

Home Station (Configurable)

The default station is Zagreb-Grič (current) / Zagreb_Maksimir (forecast). Customise via environment variables:

| Variable | Purpose | Default | |---|---|---| | DHMZ_HOME_CURRENT | Station for current conditions | Zagreb-Grič | | DHMZ_HOME_FORECAST | Station for forecasts | Zagreb_Maksimir | | DHMZ_HOME_ALIASES | Extra words that resolve to home (comma-separated) | _(empty)_ |

Any query mentioning "home", "my location", or "doma" uses the configured home station.

CLI Tool

All commands go through a single Python script — no external dependencies (stdlib only).
