Weather German

Posted in Weather by congomonster 58 days ago

I found Geektool a few days ago. Liked the weather and clock. But only displays the weather for your city from yahoo in english. German yahoo weather doesn't have rss. So here it is, with german location.

Here's a little script I found on the internet (don't know where). Modified it, so it doesn't only show the current weather, but also todays and tomorrows forecast . . . in german

Hope it works, just copying this to the comment field ;)

curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=AUXX0025&u=c" | grep -E -A 2 '(Forecast:| C

Nope . . . didn't work. ;)

Just download it from here ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1397764/WeatherScript.txt ) and copy the contents to the "command" field. And don't forget to edit the city code in the link at the beginning (currently its set to "AUXX0025" so you'll see the weather for vienna)

If you don't need/want the german localisation, use this script: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1397764/WeatherScriptEnglish.txt
