# Weather Skill

Get current weather conditions and forecasts.

## When to Use

✅ **USE this skill when:**

- "What's the weather?"
- "Will it rain today/tomorrow?"
- "Temperature in [city]"
- "Weather forecast for the week"
- Travel planning weather checks

## When NOT to Use

❌ **DON'T use this skill when:**

- Historical weather data → use weather archives/APIs
- Climate analysis or trends → use specialized data sources
- Hyper-local microclimate data → use local sensors
- Severe weather alerts → check official NWS sources
- Aviation/marine weather → use specialized services (METAR, etc.)

## Location

Always include a city, region, or airport code in weather queries.

## Commands

```bash
# One-line summary
curl "wttr.in/London?format=3"

# Detailed current conditions
curl "wttr.in/London?0"

# Specific city

```
