This uses the Wunderground API to export icons representing 4 days worth of weather. It's built in ruby. It looks something like:
$ git clone git://github.com/djcp/cli-weather.git
$ cd cli-weather
$ bundleCreate a .cli-weather.rc file in your $HOME directory. It should look something like:
city = Lynn
state = MA
api_key = <your wunderground API key>
I use a cron job to dump the icons out to a file named "~/.cli-weather-forecast" that I then use to customize my bash prompt. The command below will update it every 15 minutes.
*/15 * * * * source /home/djcp/.rvm/scripts/rvm && ruby /home/djcp/code/cli-weather/cli-weather.rb > /home/djcp/.cli-weather-forecastAnd then in .bashrc:
WEATHER=(< ~/.cli-weather-forecast)
