Great Weather in Your Terminal: wttr.in

January 30th, 2020 – Athens, Ohio –

As has been the case with a lot of things lately, I spotted this first on Jan-Lukas Else’s blog (who spotted it on Henrique Dias’ blog). It’s a great (and heavily-starred) project called wttr.in that brings weather forecasts into your terminal with a huge amount of options. The amount of supported output formats is very impressive. Check out the GitHub repository and here is an example that I have aliased to ‘weather’ in my WSL2 bash setup:

curl wttr.in/~Ohio+University+Athens+Ohio

Current Weather in Athens, Ohio as seen in the terminal using wttr.in
