Weather Polybar Script

This script obtains weather information from wttr.in and displays it in the format icon condition temperature humidity.

Dependencies

• curl: required to retrieve weather information from wttr.in.

Usage

1. Place the script in a convenient location, such as ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/scripts/weather-bar.sh.
2. Make the script executable: chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/scripts/weather-bar.sh.
3. Add a new module to your Polybar configuration file config:

[module/weather]
type = custom/script
interval = 900
exec = ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/scripts/weather-bar.sh

format = <label>
label = %output%

label-foreground = ${color.GREEN}
label-background = ${color.BACKGROUND}
label-padding = 2

format-foreground = ${color.GREEN}
format-background = ${color.BACKGROUND}
label-font = 1

4. Restart your Polybar to see the weather information.

Customization

• label-font: controls the font size of the label.

To use different icons, modify the case statement in the script to assign the appropriate Unicode value to the icon variable for each weather condition. You can find the Unicode values for icons in the Unicode character table.

To use a different weather API or modify the information displayed, modify the curl request in the script accordingly.
