openweathercli

A small cli app using the openweathermap fork

Usage:

Automatic

openweathercli --loc="Los Angeles" --days 0.5 --api_key <MY_API_KEY>

Using worldcities.csv from simplemaps for latitude and longitude, and timezone.csv from timezonedb for UTC offsets, most big cities can be found automatically using only --loc and --days.

In the screenshot below the --api_key has been defined by default in the code:

The wet-bulb temperature color code the text for risk, as documented in simple_wet_bulb.

To count in hours rather than fractions of days, we can use:

openweathercli --loc="Los Angeles" --days=$(bc -l <<< '12/24') --api_key <MY_API_KEY>

Semi-Automatic

Given that worldcities.csv has a more extensive collection of municipalities than timezone.csv, there are a number of municipalities with no corresponding timezone, which results in output in UTC.

openweathercli --loc Girona --days 0.5 --api_key <MY_API_KEY>

In the screenshot below the --api_key has been defined by default in the code:

You can resolve the timezone by specifying a value for --utc.

openweathercli --loc Girona --utc 2 --days 0.5 --api_key <MY_API_KEY>

In the screenshot below the --api_key has been defined by default in the code:

Manual

openweathercli --lat 30.267222 --lon=-97.743056 --loc Austin_TX --days 0.5 --utc=-5 --api_key <MY_API_KEY>

Where:

• --lat --lon = latitude and longitude in decimal format
• --loc = [optional] location label
• --days = number of decimal days between zero and five to subtract from present time
• --utc= [optional] offset from UTC, otherwise time displayed in UTC
• --api_key = the OpenWeather API key
