What weather-query does

weather-query calls the https://60s.viki.moe/v2 API to retrieve current conditions or a forecast. Current results can include temperature, humidity, wind, air quality, and an update time. Forecast results contain dates, weather descriptions, temperature ranges, and wind details.

The skill uses separate GET endpoints for real-time data and forecasts: weather/realtime and weather/forecast. A location must be passed through the required query parameter, using Chinese characters. If a district lookup fails, the documented fallback is to try its main city. A non-Chinese location value does not meet the skill’s request format.

The source includes Python examples built with requests as well as curl calls. The skill can support multi-city comparisons, rain checks before travel, and weather-based advice.

What it helps with

  • read current temperature and humidity for a place in China
  • fetch a day-by-day forecast for a trip
  • check wind conditions and air quality
  • compare current weather across several cities
  • identify rainy days in a forecast

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use weather-query to check current conditions for a place in China, passing its Chinese location name through query.
  • Use weather-query to return a forecast with dates, weather, low temperature, and high temperature.
  • Compare current temperatures for several Chinese cities and report the warmest and coldest location.

# Weather Query Skill

This skill enables AI agents to fetch real-time weather information and forecasts for locations in China using the 60s API.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users:
- Ask about current weather conditions
- Want weather forecasts
- Need temperature, humidity, wind information
- Request air quality data
- Plan outdoor activities and need weather info

## API Endpoints

### 1. Real-time Weather
**URL:** `https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/realtime`  
**Method:** GET

### 2. Weather Forecast
**URL:** `https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/forecast`  
**Method:** GET

## Parameters

- `query` (required): Location name in Chinese
  - Can be city name: "北京", "上海", "广州"
  - Can be district name: "海淀区", "浦东新区"

## How to Use

### Get Real-time Weather

```python
import requests

def get_realtime_weather(query):
    url = 'https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/realtime'
    response = requests.get(url, params={'query': query})
    return response.json()

# Example
weather = get_realtime_weather('北京')
print(f"☁️ {weather['location']}天气")
print(f"🌡️ 温度:{weather['temperature']}°C")
print(f"💨 风速:{weather['wind']}")
print(f"💧 湿度:{weather['humidity']}")
```

### Get Weather Forecast

```python
def get_weather_forecast(query):
    url = 'https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/forecast'
    response = requests.get(url, params={'query': query})
    return response.json()

# Example
forecast = get_weather_forecast('上海')
for day in forecast['forecast']:
    print(f"{day['date']}: {day['weather']} {day['temp_low']}°C ~ {day['temp_high']}°C")
```

### Simple bash example

```bash
# Real-time weather
curl "https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/realtime?query=北京"

# Weather forecast
curl "https://60s.viki.moe/v2/weather/forecast?query=上海"
```

## Response Format

### Real-time Weather Response

```json
{
  "location": "北京",
  "weather": "晴",
  "temperature": "15",
  "humidity": "45%",
  "wind": "东北风3级",
  "air_quality": "良",
  "updated": "2024-01-15 14:00:00"
}
```

### Forecast Response

```json
{
  "location": "上海",
  "forecast": [
    {
      "date": "2024-01-15",
      "day_of_week": "星期一",
      "weather": "多云",
      "temp_low": "10",
      "temp_high": "18",
      "wind": "东风3-4级"
    },
    ...
  ]
}
```

## Example Interactions

### User: "北京今天天气怎么样?"

**Agent Response:**
```python
weather = get_realtime_weather('北京')
response = f"""
☁️ 北京今日天气

天气状况:{weather['weather']}
🌡️ 温度:{weather['temperature']}°C
💧 湿度:{weather['humidity']}
💨 风力:{weather['wind']}
🌫️ 空气质量:{weather['air_quality']}
"""
```

### User: "上海未来三天天气"

```python
forecast = get_weather_forecast('上海')
response = "📅 上海未来天气预报\n\n"
for day in forecast['forecast'][:3]:
    response += f"{day['date']} {day['day_of_week']}\n"
    response += f"  {day['weather']} {day['temp_low']}°C ~ {day['temp_high']}°C\n"
    response += f"  {day['wind']}\n\n"
```

### User: "深圳会下雨吗?"

```python
weather = get_realtime_weather('深圳')
if '雨' in weather['weather']:
    print("☔ 是的,深圳现在正在下雨")
    print("建议带伞出门!")
else:
    forecast = get_weather_forecast('深圳')
    rain_days = [d for d in forecast['forecast'] if '雨' in d['weather']]
    if rain_days:
        print(f"未来{rain_days[0]['date']}可能会下雨")
    else:
        print("近期没有降雨预报")
```

## Best Practices

1. **Location Names**: Always use Chinese characters for location names
2. **Error Handling**: Check if the location is valid before displaying results
3. **Context**: Provide relevant context based on weather conditions
   - Rain: Suggest bringing umbrella
   - Hot: Recommend staying hydrated
   - Cold: Advise wearing warm clothes
   - Poor AQI: Suggest wearing mask

4. **Caching**: Weather data is updated regularly but can be cached for short periods
5. **Fallbacks**: If a specific district doesn't work, try the city name

## Common Use Cases

### 1. Weather-based Recommendations

```python
def give_weather_advice(location):
    weather = get_realtime_weather(location)
    advice = []
    
    temp = int(weather['temperature'])
    if temp > 30:
        advice.append("🔥 天气炎热,注意防暑降温,多喝水")
    elif temp < 5:
        advice.append("🥶 天气寒冷,注意保暖")
    
    if '雨' in weather['weather']:
        advice.append("☔ 记得带伞")
    
    if weather['air_quality'] in ['差', '重度污染']:
        advice.append("😷 空气质量不佳,建议戴口罩")
    
    return '\n'.join(advice)
```

### 2. Multi-city Weather Comparison

```python
def compare_weather(cities):
    results = []
    for city in cities:
        weather = get_realtime_weather(city)
        results.append({
            'city': city,
            'temperature': int(weather['temperature']),
            'weather': weather['weather']
        })
    
    # Find hottest and coldest
    hottest = max(results, key=lambda x: x['temperature'])
    coldest = min(results, key=lambda x: x['temperature'])
    
    return f"🌡️ 最热: {hottest['city']} {hottest['temperature']}°C\n" \
           f"❄️ 最冷: {coldest['city']} {coldest['temperature']}°C"
```

### 3. Travel Weather Check

```python
def check_travel_weather(destination, days=3):
    forecast = get_weather_forecast(destination)
    suitable_days = []
    
    for day in forecast['forecast'][:days]:
        if '雨' not in day['weather'] and '雪' not in day['weather']:
            suitable_days.append(day['date'])
    
    if suitable_days:
        return f"✅ {destination}适合出行的日期:{', '.join(suitable_days)}"
    else:
        return f"⚠️ 未来{days}天{destination}天气不太适合出行"
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Location not found
- **Solution**: Try using the main city name instead of district
- Example: Use "北京" instead of "朝阳区"

### Issue: No forecast data
- **Solution**: Verify the location name is correct
- Try standard city names: 北京, 上海, 广州, 深圳, etc.

### Issue: Data seems outdated
- **Solution**: The API updates regularly, but weather can change quickly
- Check the `updated` timestamp in the response

## Supported Locations

The weather API supports most cities and districts in China, including:
- Provincial capitals: 北京, 上海, 广州, 深圳, 成都, 杭州, 南京, 武汉, etc.
- Major cities: 苏州, 青岛, 大连, 厦门, etc.
- Districts: 海淀区, 朝阳区, 浦东新区, etc.
