Search for your city at http://www.accuweather.com and replace the URL in the following script with the URL for your city:

#!/bin/sh



URL='http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/berlin/10178/weather-forecast/178087'



wget -q -O- "$URL" | awk -F' '/acm_RecentLocationsCarousel.push/{print $2": "$16", "$12"°" }'| head -1

Sample output:

Berlin, Germany: Foggy, 1°

I have got one more way .

Open your .bashrc file and then paste this code at the bottom

weather(){ curl -s "http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=${@:-<YOURZIPORLOCATION>}"|perl -ne '/<title>([^<]+)/&&printf "%s: ",$1;/<fcttext>([^<]+)/&&print $1,"n"';}

Then save & close your .bashrc file.

now type bash to update the file.

then type

weather <location name>

for example

august@august-OEM:~$ weather guntur

December 14, 2013: Clear. High 31°C (87°F). Winds 0 kph North

December 15, 2013: Clear. High 29°C (84°F). Winds 10 kph NNW

December 16, 2013: Clear. High 31°C (87°F). Winds 10 kph North

December 17, 2013: Clear. High 29°C (84°F). Winds 7 kph ENE

December 18, 2013: Scattered Clouds. High 29°C (84°F). Winds 3 kph ENE

December 19, 2013: Scattered Clouds. High 29°C (84°F). Winds 3 kph ENE

Here's a great semi-graphical command line utility written in Go:

https://github.com/schachmat/wego/

You'll need to install Go and setup some API stuff, but the instructions are there. Here's a sample pic:

Try using

telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com

ansiweather

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.

sudo apt-get install ansiweather

ansiweather -l London,GB -f 3

London forecast => Sat Jan 13: 7/2 °C ☔ - Sun Jan 14: 4/1 °C ☔ - Mon Jan 15: 9/6 °C ☔

First you need to install the weather-util package, to do that just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install weather-util

You’ll need your local weather code.

After installation you can run weather -i <code>. The code you get from the link above. For a list of available options, you can run weather^{Weather info}

also a program that comes pre-installed with ubuntu called inxi will give you all types of stats on your computer and it does a weather output.

command: inxi --help

command: inxi -w

        Conditions: 82 F (28 C) - Clear Time: May 13, 10:52 AM CDT

command: inxi -wxxx

     Conditions: 82 F (28 C) - Clear Wind: From the SW at 13 MPH Humidity: 60%



       Pressure: 29.99 in (1016 mb) Heat Index: 84 F (29 C)

       Location: city (USA) Altitude: 185 m

       Time: May 13, 10:52 AM CDT (America/Chicago) Observation Time: May 13, 9:54 AM CDT

You can compare cities using:

diff -Naur <(curl -s http://wttr.in/london ) <(curl -s http://wttr.in/new-york )

as illustrated in the top-voted answer. wttr.in also makes a great "splash" screen every time you open the terminal. Do this by adding it to your ~/.bashrc file. I've done that to include Weather, Date, Time and Distribution information as detailed in this answer: How can I get this terminal splash screen?

Sorry I was in Ubuntu in Windows 10 WSL for Spring 2018 updates when I captured this image. Promise I'll boot back into Ubuntu in Linux soon.

I have got one more way .

Open your .bashrc file and then paste this code at the bottom

test -f ~/.wttr.in || curl -sk wttr.in -o ~/.wttr.in

find ~ -maxdepth 1 -name .wttr.in -cmin +5 -exec curl -sk wttr.in -o ~/.wttr.in ;

head -7 ~/.wttr.in | tail -5

W(){ find ~ -maxdepth 1 -name .wttr.in -cmin +5 -exec curl -sk wttr.in -o ~/.wttr.in ;; head -27 ~/.wttr.in; }

Save & close your .bashrc file and run the following command to update bash:

. .bashrc 

then type W upper case

For even shorter weather output http://weather.tuxnet24.de provides weather data from Yahoo! in text and xml format.

The filds from the XML can then be obtained with a XML parser like xmllint i.e..

I wrote a q&d weather-fetch script, wich gets the current temperature and description of weather, then stores a unicode symbol corresponding to the description and outputs it like

☂ 6°C

I regularly update via cronjob and then use the output in my tray status.

Get your ID at yahoocom/news/weather. Change location to your desired location and look for ID in URL (i.e. if URL is yahoocom/news/weather/germany/north-rhine-westphalia/bielefeld-20066057 the ID is 20066057).

The XML contains further fields, i.e. forecast data, wind etc. – you can parse them, too, if you want.

Unfortunatly some weather symbols are not represented in the Ubuntufont… feel free to adjust.

Here's my script (replace 20066057 with your ID if you don't live in Bielefeld) - depends on bash, curl and xmllint.

#!/bin/sh

#☁☂☔❄❅❆☃ ☀☁☂⚡⚐☼



# write xml to variable

w_xml=$(curl -Ls "http://weather.tuxnet24.de/?id=20066057&mode=xml");

# get fields from xml via xmllint | xargs for trimming

# weather description

w_txt=$(xmllint --xpath "string(//current_text)" - <<<"$w_xml" | xargs);

# temperature | remove spaces from text (°C prepended by space)

w_tpc=$(xmllint --xpath "string(//current_temp)"  - <<<"$w_xml" | xargs); w_tpc=${w_tpc//[[:blank:]]/};

# further fields not used atm

# w_tph=$(xmllint --xpath "string(//current_temp_high)"  - <<<"$w_xml" | xargs);

# w_tpl=$(xmllint --xpath "string(//current_temp_low)"  - <<<"$w_xml" | xargs);



# set $w_sym according to $w_txt

if   [ "$w_txt" == "Sunny" ]; then w_sym="☼";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Mostly Sunny" ]; then w_sym="☼";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Showers" ]; then w_sym="☂";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Clear" ]; then w_sym="☾";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Thunderstorms" ]; then w_sym="⚡";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Scattered Thunderstorms" ]; then w_sym="☔";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Isolated Thundershovers" ]; then w_sym="☔";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Cloudy" ]; then w_sym="☁";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Mostly Cloudy" ]; then w_sym="☁";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Partly Cloudy" ]; then w_sym="☼☁";

elif [ "$w_txt" == "Breezy" ]; then w_sym="⚐";

# if unknown text, set text instead of symbol

else w_sym=$w_txt; 

fi

# output <symbol><space><temp-in-°C>

echo "$w_sym"" ""$w_tpc";

Although accuweather curl solution is pretty good I needed something more informational, so I created simple bash script that pulls info for next 4 hrs from weather.com website. As in previous example you have to modify link for your location.

Example output:

$ ./getWeather.sh

Temperature for 1 AM : 65°F and outside should be: Partly - Cloudy FEELS LIKE:   65°

Temperature for 2 AM : 65deg;F and outside should be: Partly - Cloudy FEELS LIKE: 65deg;

Temperature for 3 AM : 63deg; and outside should be: Partly - Cloudy FEELS LIKE: 63deg;

Temperature for 4 AM : 62deg; and should be: Mostly - Clear FEELS LIKE: 62deg;
