• --ampm - display time in AM/PM format
• --location - pass a specific location to wttr.in
• --main-indicator - decide which current_conditions key will be shown on waybar. defaults to temp_C
• --date-format - defaults to %Y-%m-%d, formats the date next to the days. see reference
• --hide-conditions - show a shorter descrpition next to each hour, like 7° Mist instead of 7° Mist, Overcast 81%, Sunshine 17%, Frost 15%
• --fahrenheit - use fahrenheit instead of celsius
• --vertical-view - shows the icon on the first line and temperature in a new line
• --custom-indicator "<CUSTOM_INDICATOR>" - optional expression that will be shown instead of main indicator. current_conditions keys surrounded by {} can be used.
  e.g. "{ICON}{temp_C}({FeelsLikeC})" will be transformed to "text":"🌧️0(-4)" in output

e.g. wttrbar --date-format "%m/%d" --location Paris --hide-conditions

Assuming wttrbar is in your path, it can be used like:

    "tooltip": true,
    "interval": 3600,
    "exec": "wttrbar",
    "return-type": "json"
},

This code is based on my old Python gist that was used for the same purpose.
