;; Author: Slava Barinov <rayslava@gmail.com>
;; Maintainer: Slava Barinov <rayslava@gmail.com>
;; Created: 03 July 2024
;; Version: 1.0
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.1"))
;; Keywords: weather, convenience

;;; Commentary:
;; This package provides a function to update the `:WEATHER:` property of an Org
;; mode entry with the current weather information for a specified location. The
;; location is taken from the `:LOCATION:` property of the entry. If the property
;; does not exist, the user is prompted to enter a location.
;; To use this package, load it and call `org-weather-update-property` in an
;; Org mode buffer.

(require 'org)
(require 'json)
(require 'request)

You could even take timestamps into account, so you can get weather on agenda items ;)
