What is China Weather Forecast (weather-china)?
The weather-china skill is a robust tool designed for AI agents to retrieve accurate weather information directly from the official China Weather Website (weather.com.cn). It provides comprehensive data including 7-day temperature trends, wind conditions, and a variety of life indices like clothing, exercise, and allergy alerts. As a core component of the Openclaw Skills library, it offers a pure Python implementation that is easy to deploy and requires no complex API registrations.
This skill is particularly valuable for developers building localized assistants that need to provide real-time environmental context. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, the agent can translate simple city queries into detailed, actionable weather reports, making it an essential utility for travel planning, daily scheduling, and health monitoring.
China Weather Forecast (weather-china) Use Cases
- Checking the 7-day weather forecast for any major or minor city in China.
- Getting automated clothing recommendations based on current temperature and wind chill.
- Planning outdoor workouts by checking the exercise and UV indices.
- Deciding whether to wash a car or carry an umbrella based on upcoming rain predictions.
- Integrating real-time weather data into larger Openclaw Skills automation workflows.
How China Weather Forecast (weather-china) Works
- The user or agent provides a city name in Chinese (e.g., "Beijing" or "Nanjing").
- The skill attempts to match the city against a built-in dictionary of over 60 major city codes for high-speed retrieval.
- For cities not in the cache, it utilizes an automated search interface to fetch the correct city code from the source.
- It connects to weather.com.cn to pull the latest forecast and life index data.
- The script parses the data and returns it in either a human-readable text summary or a structured JSON object.
