We all love the CLI (and if we don't, we should) so wouldn't it be great if there was a tool to see your weather forecast with a single command? Ceda EI at webionite.com has written a tool that uses the Dark Sky API to give you the forecast for a day or week, at your location, and in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Celsius
- Weather for one week -
$ curl sky.webionite.com/location - Weather for today -
$ curl sky.webionite.com/location/t
Fahrenheit
- Weather for one week -
$ curl sky.webionite.com/f/location - Weather for today -
$ curl sky.webionite.com/f/location/t
A great way to make this faster and simpler is to put an alias in your shell's rc file. For bash, you can do that with:
echo "alias weather='curl sky.webionite.com/f/location'" >> ~/.bashrc
If you ever forget how to use the tool, just run curl sky.webionite.com and you'll be given instructions.
