Why does requests.get() is giving me the information in Spanish?

I'm trying to request the weather from Google for an specific place at an specific time. When I get the response the text is in Spanish instead of English. Ie. instead of "Mostly cloudly" I get "parcialmente nublado". I'm using the requests library and BeautifulSoup.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = "https://www.google.com/search?q=weather+Nissan+Stadium+Nashville+TN+Thursday+December+29+2022+8:15+PM"

page = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content,"html.parser")

clima = soup.find("div",class_="tAd8D")
print(clima.text)

Output

jueves Mayormente nublado Máxima: 16°C Mínima: 8°C

Desired output:

Thursday Mostly cloudy Maximun : x (fahrenheit) Minimum x(fahrenheit)

The most likely explanation is that Google associates your IP address with a primarily Spanish-speaking region and defaults to giving you results in Spanish.

Try specifying English in your search string by adding hl=en:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=my+search+string
