--date-format - defaults to %Y-%m-%d, formats the date next to the days. see reference

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

Icons

To display the weather icons correctly, you will need to have a font that supports emojis installed. The screenshot uses Noto Emoji, but you can use other fonts too.

Waybar configuration

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

"custom/weather": {
    "format": "{}°",
    "tooltip": true,
    "interval": 3600,
    "exec": "wttrbar",
    "return-type": "json"
},

Old version

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