      "description": "clear sky",
      "icon": "01d"
    }
  ],
  "base": "stations",
  "main": {
    "temp": 15.5,
    "feels_like": 14.8,
    "temp_min": 14.0,
    "temp_max": 17.0,

  },

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from OpenWeatherMap. If you don’t have an API key, you can sign up for one here.

This setup will allow your bot to fetch and display current weather information for the specified location.
