## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability virtual-weather-station-hurricane-data-api-225c97fe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Are there any active hurricanes or tropical storms right now? Pull the latest storm data from the Virtual Weather Station hurricane tracker.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time hurricane and tropical cyclone tracking data without building your own weather data pipeline. Best suited for agents monitoring storm activity, travel safety checks during hurricane season, or emergency planning workflows. Prefer this over general weather endpoints when the specific use case is tropical storm or hurricane monitoring rather than general forecast data.

## Known failure modes

- No active hurricanes returns an empty or null storm list rather than an error
- Invalid or unsupported query parameters may be silently ignored due to open additionalProperties schema
- Service may return stale data if upstream weather feeds are delayed
- HTTP 402 payment required if USDC payment header is missing or insufficient
- Network timeouts during peak storm season when traffic is high

## How this service works

Check the weather right now for your location or any city: current weather conditions, today's and tomorrow's weather forecast, live weather radar, interactive weather maps, temperature, wind, humidity and barometric pressure. Free real-time virtual weather station.

## Output
