AnsiWeather is a Shell script for displaying the current weather conditions in your terminal, with support for ANSI colors and Unicode symbols.
Weather data comes from the OpenWeatherMap free weather API.
AnsiWeather requires the following dependencies:
- A command to fetch HTTP data such as FTP, cURL or wget
- jq (lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor)
- bc (arbitrary precision numeric processing language), for doing float arithmetic
After cloning the repository, simply invoke the script by typing:
./ansiweather
AnsiWeather packages are available for:
ansiweather [-F] [-l location] [-u system] [-f days] [-a value]
[-s value] [-k key] [-i value] [-w value] [-h value]
[-p value] [-d value] [-v value]

The default config file is ~/.ansiweatherrc. The environment variable ANSIWEATHERRC can be set to override this. The following configuration options (detailed below) are available and should be set according to your location and preferences.
Example: ~/.ansiweatherrc
location:Rzeszow,PL
fetch_cmd:ftp -V -o -
units:metric
show_daylight:true
The file ansiweatherrc.example contains all available configuration
variables.
Location format is city,CC where CC is a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
country code. A list of country codes is available here.
Alternatively, it's also possible to specify locations by their ID, a city
list is available here.
In case no location is specified, AnsiWeather will fallback to the default location.
Example: Rzeszow,PL
location:Rzeszow,PL
Various tools can be used to fetch data: curl, wget, ftp.
Please note that ftp flags and options might differ among implementations
and versions, and the example provided here is known to work only on OpenBSD
and NetBSD.
Example: curl -sf
fetch_cmd:curl -sf
Example: wget -qO-
fetch_cmd:wget -qO-
Example: ftp -V -o -
fetch_cmd:ftp -V -o -
Default: curl -sf
Both metric and imperial systems are supported.
