Configuration

Units System

By default, the skill uses metric units (°C, km/h). To switch to imperial (°F, mph), set the GOOGLE_WEATHER_UNITS environment variable:

# In your OpenClaw config (env section):
GOOGLE_WEATHER_UNITS: IMPERIAL

No code changes needed — just set the env var and restart.

Multi-language Support

Output adapts to location - supports English, Hebrew, and other languages based on the language parameter.
