🚀 Export a multi-day weather forecast for any coordinates in seconds. Pull 3-hour forecast slots with temperature, cloud cover, wind, humidity, precipitation, and weather label on every record.

7Timer turns global numerical weather models into simple forecasts. This Actor reads the public 7Timer API for any latitude and longitude and returns a clean, ready to use feed with each forecast slot's real UTC timestamp already computed.
