Perplexity

Check current conditions for any global spot.

Need to know what's happening right now? Use `get_realtime_weather` to pull instant data for any location, whether you use lat/lon or a zip code. It gives you the basics—temp, humidity, etc.—without needing a separate API call. Beyond simple conditions, your agent can also check critical risks. Run `get_road_weather_risk` to assess driving hazards or pull the current wildfire risk index using `get_wildfire_risk`. This makes it useful for PMs and developers alike.

Predict weather over days, hours, and minutes.

Stop guessing. You can query multiple timelines with one call. Get a high-level look at the next two weeks using `get_daily_forecast`, or drill down into specific timespans using `get_custom_timelines`. For granular detail, you've got options: check out to 120 hours of predictions via `get_hourly_forecast`, or get minute-by-minute rain forecasts with `get_minutely_precipitation`. This granularity is huge for planning.

Analyze historical and seasonal climate data.

Sometimes you need to look backward. The `get_historical_weather` tool pulls actual recorded weather observations, letting you compare current conditions against past performance. Plus, it handles specialized forecasts. Need to know about allergies? Call `get_pollen_forecast`. Or maybe you're worried about the air quality in a specific area; use `get_air_quality_index` for that data.
