How to just get text BeautifulSoup

Question

I am a first time poster. I'm making a program to tell the weather with requests and BeautifulSoup that is formatting the proper information wrong. I have

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/91ae3bca47e7dbeb23a6f4b10cb656d234e65f12a1e9b4dc80a0e02e5baa838c'


def getdata(url):
    r = requests.get(url)
    return r.text


htmldata = getdata(
    "https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/91ae3bca47e7dbeb23a6f4b10cb656d234e65f12a1e9b4dc80a0e02e5baa838c")

soup = BeautifulSoup(htmldata, 'html.parser')

precip = soup.find('div', id='WxuTodayWeatherCard-main-486ce56c-74e0-4152-bd76-7aea8e98520a')

currentPrecip = precip.find('li')

for j in currentPrecip:
    showPrecip = currentPrecip.get_text()

result = f"Current Temp: {showPrecip}"

print(result)

The program is outputting Current Temp: Morning-5°Snow-- and I want it to output Current Temp: -5°C, Sky Snow

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

Your question is not that clear, your taking the forecast and expect the current data. This may should be improved.

Current:

live = soup.select_one('div.styles--card--3aeCQ a')
print(f"Current Temp: {live.find('span').get_text()}, Sky: {live.find('svg').get_text()}")

Forecast (Morning):

morning = soup.select_one('section[data-testid="TodayWeatherModule"] ul>li')
print(f"Current Temp: {morning.div.span.get_text()}, Sky: {morning.find('title').get_text()}")

Example

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/today/l/91ae3bca47e7dbeb23a6f4b10cb656d234e65f12a1e9b4dc80a0e02e5baa838c'
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).text, 'html.parser')

live = soup.select_one('div.styles--card--3aeCQ a')
print(f"Current Temp: {live.find('span').get_text()}, Sky: {live.find('svg').get_text()}")

morning = soup.select_one('section[data-testid="TodayWeatherModule"] ul>li')
print(f"Current Temp: {morning.div.span.get_text()}, Sky: {morning.find('title').get_text()}")

Output

Current Temp: -2°, Sky: Snow
Current Temp: -5°, Sky: Snow
