Weather from terminal

Solution 1:

Simply enter the following in a terminal:

curl wttr.in

And will get your location from /etc/timezone. Otherwise curl wttr.in/your_location. For example, for Tehran:

curl wttr.in/tehran

Which gives you:

Sample output

You can also compare two cities:

diff -Naur <(curl -s http://wttr.in/london ) <(curl -s http://wttr.in/new-york )

Source code of developer is available on Github.

Solution 2:

Search for your city at http://www.accuweather.com and replace the URL in the following script with the URL for your city:

#!/bin/sh

URL='http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/berlin/10178/weather-forecast/178087'

wget -q -O- "$URL" | awk -F\' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel\.push/{print $2": "$16", "$12"°" }'| head -1

Sample output:

Berlin, Germany: Foggy, 1°

Solution 3:

Here's a great semi-graphical command line utility written in Go:

You'll need to install Go and setup some API stuff, but the instructions are there. Here's a sample pic:

Solution 4:

I have got one more way .

Open your .bashrc file and then paste this code at the bottom

weather(){ curl -s "http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=${@:-<YOURZIPORLOCATION>}"|perl -ne '/<title>([^<]+)/&&printf "%s: ",$1;/<fcttext>([^<]+)/&&print $1,"\n"';}

Then save & close your .bashrc file.

now type bash to update the file.

then type

weather <location name>

for example

august@august-OEM:~$ weather guntur
December 14, 2013: Clear. High 31&amp;deg;C (87&amp;deg;F). Winds 0 kph North
December 15, 2013: Clear. High 29&amp;deg;C (84&amp;deg;F). Winds 10 kph NNW
December 16, 2013: Clear. High 31&amp;deg;C (87&amp;deg;F). Winds 10 kph North
December 17, 2013: Clear. High 29&amp;deg;C (84&amp;deg;F). Winds 7 kph ENE
December 18, 2013: Scattered Clouds. High 29&amp;deg;C (84&amp;deg;F). Winds 3 kph ENE
