.htaccess 301 permanent redirect rule

Question

I have this url structure right now.

http://example.com/weather/in-city_name

which I want to permanently redirect to

http://example.com/city_name/weather

Here is what I'm writing to the .htaccess file using this reference

RedirectMatch ^/weather/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1/weather

But this doesn't work.

In my condition city_name is dynamic and manual entry is not possible.

Any suggestion about how to achieve the desire result would be great.

You can use this .htaccess :

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^weather/in-(.+)/?$ /$1/weather   [R=301,NC,L]
