I was looking for a way to get the forecast from the terminal, because why not? :)
Sure, I can browse to AccuWeather/The Weather Channel and after few clicks get what I wanted, but where’s the fun in that?
I came across this great open source project: wttr.in.
It’s basically a web frontend for wego, a terminal weather app with awesome ASCII art, that brings you all da sh*t with nothing but curl!
Usage
$ curl wttr.in/tel-aviv
Advanced Features
- Dropping the location name will return the report for your current location, based on IP address, but it’s not so accurate
- Use 3-letters airport codes to get their weather info:
$ curl wttr.in/jfk- To query a name of some geographical location/site place
~before its name:
$ curl wttr.in/~santiago-bernabeu-stadium- It is also possible to specify a domain name or IP address with
@prefix:
$ curl wttr.in/@bigpnada.io- Rule of thumb - USCS units for USA originated qeuries, metric system for the rest
- Help:
$ curl wttr.in/:helpBonus Eye Candy
Do yourself a favor and type:
$ curl wttr.in/Moon
