WTTR.IN

#1 Post by labbe5 »

Searching weather details for your location via command line, you need curl installed, then by using this basic command line curl wttr.in you will have weather details for your location based on your IP address.

In case wttr.in has trouble fionding the right location based on IP address, try this : curl wttr.in/"Toronto" (or any other location).

If you want to know weather details for an airport, try this : curl wttr.in/JFK (or any other airport name). It is based on IATA codes.

You can even use zip codes : curl wttr.in/zip code

In conclusion, no app to install, just use wttr.in in command line.

Also it is possible to use wttr.in with conky

Just add

Code: Select all

${execi 600 curl 'wttr.in/Yourcity?0?T?Q'}
to your ~/.conkyrc. Then conky will update current weather forecast every 10 minutes. "?T" is required, it disables colors

View options:

?0 # only current weather
?1 # current weather + 1 day
?2 # current weather + 2 days
?n # narrow version (only day and night)
?q # quiet version (no "Weather report" text)
?Q # superquiet version (no "Weather report", no city name)
?T # switch terminal sequences off (no colors)

Use curl 'wttr.in/:help' to show all options.
