weather-wrapper

A bash wrapper for wttr.in.

Usage

A bash wrapper for wttr.in.
Displays weather forecast for a location, or the current phase of the moon.
Options:
-0, --today: Display today's quadripartite weather forecast
-1, --tomorrow: Display tomorrow's
-2, --nextday: Display the next day's
-3, --three: Three-day quad
-c, --city CITY: Specify the location city as CITY, e.g. -c Berlin
-m, --moon: Show the moon phase (location agnostic)
Without any options, display today's simple forecast for your default location

Why a Wrapper?

Firstly, if you're looking for a self-hosted all singing all dancing program that does this: https://github.com/schachmat/wego is a good option, however it requires go and an api key, this program is more portable, only requiring curl. (for moon phase output use https://github.com/chubin/pyphoon)

Also, before this I had never programmed anything in bash so it was a bit of a challenge.

TODO

• read defaults from config file including default city
  • expand to work with more options
• make only one curl request when combining -0, -1, -2
• weather and moon should probably be permitted together, outputs concatenated

weather-wrapper's Issues

Bug when wttr.in cannot locate

This adds 2 lines to the bottom, effectively breaking the awk method we are using at the moment

Perhaps when we curl we can find a way to get x lines after a certain line instead of just chopping off the head and tail.

Vagueness with city

For example I live in San Jose, USA but the script thinks that I live in the Mexican San Jose as seen here. It might also apply with different cities that also share the same name (e.g. Springfield, Franklin).

Bottom line cut off when using 0,1,2 options

The last line is cut off when 0,1,2 options are used
