What is DC Weather?
The DC Weather skill provides developers and AI agents with a lightweight, no-authentication-required method to retrieve current atmospheric conditions in Washington, DC. By leveraging the Open-Meteo API, it eliminates the overhead of managing API keys while delivering precise temperature, wind speed, and weather condition codes.
This utility is a perfect example of how Openclaw Skills can be used to bridge external real-time data with AI agent workflows. It serves as a robust foundation for building location-aware applications that require immediate context on environmental factors in the US capital, ensuring that your agents stay informed about local conditions.
DC Weather Use Cases
- Monitoring current temperature and wind conditions in Washington, DC for logistical planning.
- Integrating local weather data into automated daily briefing agents within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
- Triggering specific automated responses or alerts based on WMO weather codes such as thunderstorms or snow.
- Enhancing the contextual awareness of AI agents operating specifically in the DC metropolitan area.
How DC Weather Works
- The skill initiates a GET request to the Open-Meteo forecast endpoint using fixed geographical coordinates for Washington, DC (38.9072, -77.0369).
- The API responds with a JSON payload containing the most recent weather metrics, including temperature in Fahrenheit and wind speed.
- The skill utilizes jq to parse the raw JSON data, extracting only the relevant weather interpretation codes and metrics.
- The processed output is delivered in either a compact string or a formatted dashboard-style layout for the user or agent.
DC Weather Setup
To use this skill, ensure you have curl and jq installed on your local environment. These are standard tools for interacting with Openclaw Skills that perform API requests.
# Install dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt-get install curl jq
# Run the quick check command
curl -s "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=38.9072&longitude=-77.0369¤t_weather=true&temperature_unit=fahrenheit" | jq -r '"DC: \(.current_weather.temperature)°F, wind \(.current_weather.windspeed) mph, code \(.current_weather.weathercode)"'
DC Weather Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data based on the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standard. The following attributes are captured in the response:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| temperature | Current thermal measurement in Fahrenheit. |
| windspeed | Current wind velocity in miles per hour. |
| weathercode | Numeric interpretation of sky conditions (e.g., 0 for Clear, 95+ for Thunderstorms). |
| latitude/longitude | Hardcoded to 38.9072 and -77.0369 for Washington, DC. |
DC Weather Advanced Features
