Weather CLI

I found out about the curl wttr.in/London method to get the current temperature in the command line, and wanted to customise it for my needs (for eg: I didn't want the graphics or icons).

This is a proxy service for the Openweather API that does some basic data manipulation & serves up the response in plain text so I can render it in a terminal.

Note

This currently only returns the weather for London (England). If you'd like other cities, please open an issue, submit a PR, or feel free to fork this repo and add your modifications.

I did consider adding location as a parameter, but this is just a personal project and I didn't want to add optimisations before I needed to.

Usage

In your terminal, type:

curl https://curl-weather.herokuapp.com/
# Note that this endpoint is on a free-tier Heroku server
# So it might sometimes take more time to get a response

You can also create a function in your .bashrc or your .zshrc file like so:

function weather() {
  curl https://curl-weather.herokuapp.com/
}

Setup

git clone https://github.com/nkhil/weather-script.git
