Question:
Retrieving forecast data from OpenWeatherMap in FIWARE ORION

Description:
I am trying to get weather forecasts data from OpenWeatherMap and integrate them in Orion by performing a registeration request.

I was able to register and get the API key from OpenWeatherMap, however, the latter returns a JSON file with all the data inside, which is not supported by ORION.

I have followed the step by step tutorial https://fiware-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/context-providers/index.html#context-provider-ngsi-proxy where they have acquired the data from OpenWeatherMap using NGSI proxy, an API key is required to be indicated in the docker-compose file as an environment variable, however, the data acquired is the "current data" and not forecast and also specific to Berlin.

I have tried to access the files inside the container "fiware/tutorials.context-provider" and try to modify and match the parameters to my needs but I feel like I am taking a long blocked path.

I don't think that's even considered as good practice but I have run out of ideas

Can anyone suggest how I could bring the forecast data to Orion and register it as a context provider?

Thank you in advance.
