What Open Weather Bot does
Open Weather Bot is the public instance of an open-source project on GitHub (iRingil/open-weather-bot, formerly rin-gil), whose README names @OpenWeatherSmartBot as the working version. Its feature list is short and concrete: find a city by name or by coordinates, see the weather and the forecast for the next 24 hours, with the forecast refreshed every 3 hours.
The bot is a good fit when you want a quick look at today and tonight rather than a week ahead. It does not advertise scheduled messages, severe-weather alerts or multi-day forecasts, so for a 10-day outlook another bot in this list will serve better. Searching by coordinates helps with a village or a hiking spot that a city search does not find.
What sets it apart is maintenance you can see: the repository is MIT-licensed, has continuous integration and a CodeQL security scan, and received commits as recently as August 2026, including dependency security updates. The interface is localised into English, Ukrainian and Russian. It is free and needs no account; the developer is an individual.

FAQ
How far ahead does the forecast go?
The project lists a 24-hour forecast, refreshed every 3 hours. For a week or 10 days ahead, pick a bot with multi-day forecasts.
Is it safe to use?
It needs only a place name or coordinates, and its code is public on GitHub with automated security scanning, so what it does with your requests can be checked.
