# AccuWeather API: Get current weather > Gets current conditions and RealFeel for a city or postal code on AccuWeather. The UV level follows standard UV-index ranges. Air quality is null unless it is shown with the current conditions. Unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by AccuWeather. - Page: https://fous.com/methods/accuweather.com/get-current-weather - Method: `accuweather.com/get_current_weather`, version 1 - Website: accuweather.com - Returns: temperature, RealFeel, conditions, wind, humidity, dew point, pressure, UV, cloud cover, visibility, link - Effect: read (it gets data and changes nothing) - Sign-in: none needed - Cost: 1 credit per completed run (1¢ with pay as you go); failed runs are free - Verified: Nov 2, 2026 ## Inputs | Field | Type | Required | In the run below | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `units` | string | no | `"metric"` | Measurement system, for example metric; defaults to imperial. One of "imperial", "metric". Default "imperial". | | `location` | string | yes | `"10001"` | City, ZIP code, or postcode, for example Boston or 10001. | ## Output From a run on Oct 23, 2026. Its input: ```json { "units": "metric", "location": "10001" } ``` Its output: ```json { "humidity": { "unit": "%", "value": 63 }, "pressure": { "unit": "mb", "value": 1023 }, "uv_index": { "level": "Low", "value": 0 }, "dew_point": { "unit": "°C", "value": 4 }, "conditions": "Clear", "visibility": { "unit": "km", "value": 16 }, "wind_gusts": { "unit": "km/h", "value": 7 }, "wind_speed": { "unit": "km/h", "value": 7 }, "air_quality": null, "cloud_cover": { "unit": "%", "value": 0 }, "temperature": { "unit": "°C", "value": 11 }, "matched_place": "New York, NY 10001 US", "realfeel_shade": { "unit": "°C", "value": 10 }, "wind_direction": "NE", "accuweather_link": "https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/new-york/10021/current-weather/349727", "observation_time": "2026-10-23T05:49-04:00", "realfeel_temperature": { "unit": "°C", "value": 10 }, "accuweather_location_key": "349727" } ``` ## Run it From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output: ```bash curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"method":"accuweather.com/get_current_weather","input":{"units":"metric","location":"10001"}}' ``` From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`. ## Ask your agent - What's the weather like right now in Boston, including the RealFeel temperature? - Current conditions in 10001 please, in metric units - Is it humid and windy in Chicago at the moment? Need dew point and visibility too. - Check the current UV index and cloud cover for London SW1A on AccuWeather. - How hot does it feel outside in Phoenix right now, and what's the barometric pressure? ## Input schema ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "location" ], "properties": { "units": { "enum": [ "imperial", "metric" ], "type": "string", "default": "imperial", "description": "Measurement system, for example metric; defaults to imperial." }, "location": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "City, ZIP code, or postcode, for example Boston or 10001." } } } ``` ## Output schema ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "matched_place", "observation_time", "temperature", "realfeel_temperature", "realfeel_shade", "conditions", "wind_speed", "wind_direction", "wind_gusts", "humidity", "dew_point", "pressure", "uv_index", "cloud_cover", "visibility", "air_quality", "accuweather_link", "accuweather_location_key" ], "properties": { "humidity": { "type": "object" }, "pressure": { "type": "object" }, "uv_index": { "type": "object" }, "dew_point": { "type": "object" }, "conditions": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "visibility": { "type": "object" }, "wind_gusts": { "type": "object" }, "wind_speed": { "type": "object" }, "air_quality": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "cloud_cover": { "type": "object" }, "temperature": { "type": "object" }, "matched_place": { "type": "string" }, "realfeel_shade": { "type": "object" }, "wind_direction": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "accuweather_link": { "type": "string" }, "observation_time": { "type": "string" }, "realfeel_temperature": { "type": "object" }, "accuweather_location_key": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] } } } ``` ## See more - [The Weather Channel API: Get current weather](https://fous.com/methods/weather.com/get-current-weather.md): Gets current conditions and today's high and low from The Weather Channel for a city, postcode, ZIP code or street address worldwide.
