Weather and Forecast

Posted in Weather by SamSoftware 798 days ago

Will give the weather forecast and current conditions in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. Configure however you want, please remember that the defaults are set to Fahrenheit for the forecast of the next two days.

IMPORTANT! READ THE SCRIPT FIRST OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SET IT UP!

If I can replace scripts with something compiled, I can. Definitely not the fun way to approach things but I'd hate to see the resource usage on some of the pimped out desktops.

Anyways, doing something in c/c++ for sheer weather is definitely a waste compared to something like a stat. Some guy wrapped the underground API and made a nice command that compiles perfectly, even allowing for flexible outputs.

If you are in the Uk the format you need is:

Just swap the numbers for your own location.

I got that wrong, should be:

feed://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0974

you can get your code from weather .com

How do I get this to show five day forecast?

So if I wanted to add the city in a line before the current weather so I can add more than one of these for different cities, how would I go about doing that?
