# NWS API: Get current conditions > Gets the latest observed weather from a nearby National Weather Service station for a US city, address, or ZIP code. Measurements the station does not report are null. Unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by NWS. - Page: https://fous.com/methods/weather.gov/get-current-conditions - Method: `weather.gov/get_current_conditions`, version 1 - Website: weather.gov - Returns: station name and code, distance, observation time, conditions, temperature, feels-like, humidity, dew point, wind, gust, pressure, visibility, page URL - 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 | |---|---|---|---|---| | `location` | string | yes | `"98101"` | US city, street address, or ZIP code, for example Seattle, 98101, or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC. | ## Output From a run on Oct 23, 2026. Its input: ```json { "location": "98101" } ``` Its output: ```json { "page_url": "https://api.weather.gov/stations/KBFI/observations/2026-10-23T07:40:00+00:00", "conditions": "Clear", "dew_point_c": 7, "dew_point_f": 44.6, "pressure_mb": 1019.6, "feels_like_c": null, "feels_like_f": null, "station_code": "KBFI", "station_name": "Boeing Field - King County International Airport", "pressure_inhg": 30.11, "temperature_c": 8, "temperature_f": 46.4, "wind_gust_mph": null, "distance_miles": 4.62, "wind_direction": "Calm", "wind_speed_mph": 0, "observation_time": "2026-10-23T07:40:00+00:00", "visibility_miles": 10, "relative_humidity_percent": 93.4 } ``` ## 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":"weather.gov/get_current_conditions","input":{"location":"98101"}}' ``` 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 current weather at Denver, CO right now? - Latest observed temperature and wind near ZIP 73301 - Can you check current conditions for 350 5th Ave, New York, NY? - How humid is it in Phoenix this afternoon, and what's the dew point? - Pull the latest weather station reading on weather.gov for Austin, Texas including visibility and pressure ## Input schema ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "location" ], "properties": { "location": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "US city, street address, or ZIP code, for example Seattle, 98101, or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC." } } } ``` ## Output schema ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "station_name", "distance_miles", "observation_time", "conditions", "temperature_f", "temperature_c", "feels_like_f", "feels_like_c", "relative_humidity_percent", "dew_point_f", "dew_point_c", "wind_speed_mph", "wind_direction", "wind_gust_mph", "pressure_inhg", "pressure_mb", "visibility_miles", "station_code", "page_url" ], "properties": { "page_url": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Link to the reported observation." }, "conditions": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Observed weather conditions in words." }, "dew_point_c": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Dew point in °C." }, "dew_point_f": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Dew point in °F." }, "pressure_mb": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Barometric pressure in millibars." }, "feels_like_c": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Reported heat index or wind chill in °C." }, "feels_like_f": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Reported heat index or wind chill in °F." }, "station_code": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Station identifier." }, "station_name": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Name of the reporting weather station." }, "pressure_inhg": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Barometric pressure in inches of mercury." }, "temperature_c": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Air temperature in °C." }, "temperature_f": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Air temperature in °F." }, "wind_gust_mph": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Wind gusts in mph." }, "distance_miles": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Distance from the place to the station in miles." }, "wind_direction": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Wind direction as a compass word." }, "wind_speed_mph": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Wind speed in mph." }, "observation_time": { "type": [ "string", "null" ], "description": "Time of the observation, as ISO 8601 with an offset." }, "visibility_miles": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Visibility in miles." }, "relative_humidity_percent": { "type": [ "number", "null" ], "description": "Relative humidity in percent." } }, "additionalProperties": false } ``` ## See more - [NWS API: Get National Weather Service forecast](https://fous.com/methods/weather.gov/get-forecast.md): Looks up the National Weather Service seven-day day and night forecast for a U.S. city, address, or ZIP code.
