DHMZ Weather (Croatia)

Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) provides free XML APIs. All data in Croatian, no authentication needed.

Default Behavior

When this skill is invoked:

1. If a city is provided as argument (e.g., /dhmz-weather Zagreb): Immediately fetch and display weather for that city

2. If no city is provided: Infer the city from conversation context (user's location, previously mentioned cities, or project context). If no context available, default to Zagreb (capital city)

Do not ask the user what they want - just fetch the weather data immediately and present it in a readable format.

Tips

• All responses are XML format

• Data is in Croatian language

• Station names use Croatian characters (UTF-8)

• Updates vary: current data ~hourly, forecasts ~daily

• For parsing, use xmllint or pipe to a JSON converter

Extract specific station with xmllint:

curl -s "https://vrijeme.hr/hrvatska_n.xml" | xmllint --xpath "//Grad[GradIme='Zagreb']" -

Convert to JSON (requires xq from yq package):

curl -s "https://vrijeme.hr/hrvatska_n.xml" | xq .
