Vectorize weather data for LlamaIndex

Use `daily_forecast` or `minutecast` to pull data and feed it directly into your vector store. Your index now contains current climate details rather than stale information. This makes your RAG system significantly more accurate. You aren't guessing the weather; you're querying a live-updated index of actual conditions.

Ground LlamaIndex answers in real-time data

Connect your index to `historical_conditions` to provide context for your queries. Your agents stop hallucinating about the past and start reporting based on logged API data. This setup allows you to combine static documents with dynamic weather reports. Your LlamaIndex application gains a factual layer that remains current with every new tool execution.

Efficient location indexing in LlamaIndex

Run `search_city` to map user queries to specific location keys for your index. This ensures your search results are always grounded in the right geography. Your agents use these keys to filter incoming data before it hits the vector database. It keeps your knowledge base clean and relevant to specific user locations.
