Maybe wput or expect would be good starting platforms for such a script.
I have weather-util working over here and it's an application not a
script and a large one at that but most of that is because when once
installed you can look up metar stations locally. It puts all the
databases available from other sources on the local hard drive. On Fri, 3

Subject: Re: Are their other Working Weather Scripts?
Thanks, Tim. This is very helpful and news to me. Much appreciated.
The rainmaker host behind the weather command went off line earlier this
week. I've been using that command for several decades, but it's been
down for days, and possibly down forever. I don't know.
Fortunately, braille.wunderground.com is still up. It's not command
line, though I imagine one could write a script quite readily.

You can try
curl wttr.in
which should attempt to find you by IP address and dump the weather
to the terminal. It does some fancy-ANSI stuff to colorize it &
draw boxes, and it wrapped a little on my 80-column display.
You can also customize it:
Airport codes: curl wttr.in/dfw
Cities: curl wttr.in/London
Postal codes: curl wttr.in/90210
Help: curl wttr.in/:help
Hope this gets you what you need.

Well, for many years I have been running a "wx" script which goes
through Wunderground telnet site. Well, I think that site is off
the air. This script is from 2009, but earlier versions I think go
much ferther back. Can some1 please suggest an alternative
commandline script for receiving current conditions and forecasts?
Thanks so much in advance Hart
