To know what the weather is like in a specific (or in the current city) I always Google for “{cityname} weather forecast”. Thanks to wttr.in I can now also get to know that via cURL. Just send a cURL request to the URL and voila:
$ curl wttr.in
Weather for City: Sint-Amandsberg, Belgium
\ / Sunny
.-. 5 – 8 °C
― ( ) ― ↙ 15 km/h
`-’ 10 km
/ \ 0.0 mm You can also append the name of a specific city to the domain:
$ curl wttr.in/paris
Weather for City: Paris, France
\ / Partly cloudy
_ /"".-. 6 – 9 °C
\_( ). ↙ 17 km/h
/(___(__) 10 km
0.0 mm Since it’s curlable, it’s on the web (ref). Ergo you can also visit wttr.in in your browser.
The actual fetching of the weather data is done by wego, a weather client for the terminal.
