NAME

weather - command-line tool to obtain weather conditions and forecasts

SYNOPSIS

weather [ options ] [ alias [ alias [...] ] ]

DESCRIPTION

This utility is intended to provide quick access to current weather conditions and forecasts. Presently, it is capable of providing data for localities throughout the United States of America by retrieving and processing METAR data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and forecasts from the National Weather Service. Behavior can be determined by command-line options and specification of zero or more aliases. Aliases are defined in weatherrc files, as a convenient means of grouping option combinations together using a short name. Specifying multiple aliases on the command line causes the utility to output data for each, as if it had been invoked multiple times. If no alias is specified, then an alias of "default" is used (assuming it has been defined) or the built-in default values are chosen (if it has not).

FILES

weather may additionally obtain configuration data from a system-wide configuration file, a per-user configuration file, and a local directory configuration file. The file format and configuration options are described in weatherrc(5). They are aggregated in the following order:

/etc/weatherrc

the system-wide configuration

~/.weatherrc

the per-user configuration (can be used to override the above)

./weatherrc

the local directory configuration (can be used to override the above)

EXAMPLES

weather

View output for the defined default alias, or the built-in default values if there is no default alias defined in the configuration files.

weather -i kavl

Display current conditions at the KAVL METAR station.

weather -n -c asheville -s nc

See a forecast for the Asheville, NC area.

weather -fv gso

Get the full decoded METAR for the station associated with the gso alias, and the forecast data for the city/state associated with the gso alias, without filtering or fancy formatting.

weather home work

Show current conditions for both the home and work aliases in that order.
