getweather

getweather is a command-line utility designed to retrieve current weather conditions and forecasts for a specified location. It typically interfaces with various online weather data providers to fetch the requested information. Users can usually specify a city name, zip code, or sometimes even geographical coordinates to obtain localized weather reports. The output of getweather is generally presented in a human-readable format, displaying details such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed, humidity, and an outlook for the upcoming hours or days.

The primary purpose of getweather is to offer a quick and accessible way to check weather information without needing to open a web browser or a dedicated weather application. It is often favored by users who prefer terminal-based workflows or need to integrate weather data into scripts and automated processes. Depending on the specific implementation, getweather might offer options to customize the output, such as selecting the unit of measurement (e.g., Celsius or Fahrenheit) or requesting specific types of data like hourly forecasts versus daily summaries. Its availability can vary, with different versions or forks potentially existing for different operating systems or programming languages.
