Overview

This node fetches weather information from the OpenWeatherMap API, supporting two main operations: retrieving the current weather and a 5-day weather forecast. It allows users to specify the location using city name, city ID, geographic coordinates, or zip code, and supports different units of measurement (Imperial, Metric, Scientific) and language options. This node is useful for automating weather data retrieval for applications like weather dashboards, alerts, or integration with other workflows.
