Quick Start

curl -s "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${CITY}&appid=${OPENWEATHER_API_KEY}&units=metric" | jq .

Workflow

1. Extract city name from user query
2. Call the API with scripts/query_weather.sh <city>
3. Parse JSON response and format as human-readable text
4. For forecasts, use scripts/forecast_weather.sh <city> <days>

Output Format

Weather in {city}, {country}:
  Temperature: {temp}°C (feels like {feels_like}°C)
  Condition: {description}
  Humidity: {humidity}%
  Wind: {wind_speed} m/s

Gotchas

• City names with spaces must be URL-encoded (e.g., "New York" → "New%20York")
• The free API tier limits to 60 calls/min
• Always specify units=metric unless user explicitly requests imperial
