πŸ“– About This Skill

name: weather-loader description: "Fetch historical or forecast weather by location or coordinates via Open-Meteo. No API key needed." license: MIT

Weather Data Fetcher

Fetch daily weather (historical and forecast) by location name or coordinates via Open-Meteo. No API key needed. Scripts: fetch_historical.py (historical), fetch_forecast.py (forecast).

When to invoke

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Historical weather data for a location or coordinates
  • Weather forecast for the next days
  • Precipitation or evapotranspiration data for garden planning

    • Location vs coordinates

    Provide either:

  • Location: positional or --location / -l (e.g. "Oslo, Norway") β€” geocoded via Open-Meteo
  • Coordinates: --lat and --lon (both required)

    • Days: --days N β€” history default 10 (max 30), forecast default 7 (max 15).

    weather_fetch_historical

    Run scripts/fetch_historical.py. Observed weather (Open-Meteo archive API). Default 10 days, max 30 (--days N).

    python scripts/fetch_historical.py "Oslo, Norway"
python scripts/fetch_historical.py "Oslo, Norway" --days 20 --format json --kc 1.05
python scripts/fetch_historical.py --location "London, UK" --format csv
python scripts/fetch_historical.py --lat 59.91 --lon 10.75 --days 30

    weather_fetch_forecast

    Run scripts/fetch_forecast.py. Forecast weather. Default 7 days, max 15 (--days N).

    python scripts/fetch_forecast.py "Oslo, Norway"
python scripts/fetch_forecast.py "Paris, France" --days 15 --format json --kc 1.0
python scripts/fetch_forecast.py --lat 59.91 --lon 10.75 --days 14 --format csv

    Output columns

    | Column | Description | |---|---| | date | YYYY-MM-DD | | temp | Mean daily temperature (Β°C) | | precip | Total daily precipitation (mm) | | et0_fao | FAO-56 reference evapotranspiration (mm/day), after kc | | evaporation | Estimated crop evaporation (mm) | | agg_precip | Cumulative precipitation | | agg_evaporation | Cumulative evapotranspiration |

    kc (crop coefficient): multiplier applied to ETβ‚€. Default 1.0.

    Technical notes

  • Historical: Open-Meteo archive API (observation/reanalysis); hourly β†’ daily (temp = mean, precip/ET = sum).
  • Forecast: Open-Meteo forecast API; same daily aggregation.
  • Geocoding: location names resolved via Open-Meteo Geocoding API when not using --lat/--lon.

    • Troubleshooting

    | Symptom | Fix | |---|---| | Location not found | Try a simpler string (e.g. "Oslo") or use --lat and --lon | | Provide either location or both --lat and --lon | Give a location (positional or --location) or both --lat and --lon | | API failure | Check internet access; retry β€” Open-Meteo is free and usually reliable |
