• City + Country: "Paris, France"
• Airport codes: "PEK", "LAX", "JFK"

Step 2: Fetch 3-Day Weather Data

Use wttr.in to get forecast data:

# JSON format for parsing (recommended)
curl -s "wttr.in/{LOCATION}?format=j1"

# Human-readable 3-day forecast
curl -s "wttr.in/{LOCATION}"

Extract key data for each day:

• Today (day 0): Current + today's forecast

Step 4: Analyze Weather Trends

Perform comparative analysis across the 3 days:

Temperature Trend:
