• Temperature: expected air temperature, often including daily highs and lows.
• Precipitation: the possibility, timing, and expected amount of rain or other precipitation.
• Wind: wind speed and direction, which can affect comfort and outdoor plans.
• Humidity and cloud cover: additional context for how conditions may feel.
