Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

^ Very nice.

Just to warn you that in the evening the website will show the dates 24, 25, 26 (instead of 23, 24, 25) in the daily forecast.
I think that's OK because there are only a few hours left until midnight.

When you followed the advice I gave for the second location, you lost the ' % ' sign (Humidity).
Just add to the long sed line (below the cat lines):

-e '7s/$/%/'

Enjoy.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@unklar

This part is wrong:

${goto 25}${execi 600 sed -n '2p'  $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | awk '{print$1}'}.\
${goto 110}${execi 600 sed -n '3p'  $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | awk '{print$1}'}.\
${goto 190}${execi 600 sed -n '4p'  $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | awk '{print$1}'}.

${image $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/day_1.png -p 10,530 -s 40x40}\
${image $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/day_2.png -p 100,530 -s 40x40}\
${image $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/day_3.png -p 180,530 -s 40x40}

If you want a daily forecast for TOMORROW + 2 DAYS, then use the images day_2, day_3, day_4.

My advice is to use the first three lines of the file date_and_phrase and keep images day_1, day_2, day_3 (TODAY + 2 DAYS).
Why?
Because the site automatically switches to tomorrow's forecast (in the evening hours), as it is more useful than the forecast until midnight.

* Visit the website and see the forecast table for the next 2 weeks.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens, for some reason the date_and_phrase file no longer has text. 

It started last night, and this morning it's still the same.  Date of file is current, it gets re-generated by the tad script same time as the other files, but it's empty and no longer recognised as a text file.  When I double click on it, file manager is now asking me what program to use to open it.  Previously the default text editor just opens it without asking.

Maybe a temporary problem with your location?

The website 14-day forecast is showing all the text weather conditions, but the date_and_phrase file is still generated as an empty non-textfile document.  I will observe for next 24 hours and see if it sorts itself out.  The date, image and temperatures text files are fine.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@asqwerth

Maybe you accidentally changed something in that part of the tad script.

This is what the original code looks like:

## Daily Date + Phrase - Next 7 Days

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $2}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' > $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $3}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $4}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $5}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $6}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $7}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep 'View historic weather' | awk -F'ext&#39;)"><div class=wt-dn>' '{print $8}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1, $2}' | sed 's/<\/div><img class=mtt title=/ /' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase

If it still doesn't work, I need your weather_raw file.

EDIT
This could also be the reason:

* Adjusted for Daylight Saving Time (7 places).

Sun = Sunday, 23 November 2025 (133 places).
Mon = Monday, 24 November 2025 (8 places).

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/

Has something changed in your country (region)?
If so, the code probably needs to be modified.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens,
The script I'd copied was fine.   

Thankfully the date_and_phrase file is back to normal with the textual weather conditions.  It could have been just a momentary glitch or maybe the website upgrade did affect the data available for my location (although we don't have daylight savings time here).

Thanks.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens, do you happen to have a index/key for the numbered weather icons you provided, so that I can work out what condition each stands for?

For instance. wt-1 to wt-7 all appear to be showing different levels of daytime cloudiness... except wt-3, which seems to be daytime smog/fog/mist.  But it seems weird to place a "misty" icon in the midst of "cloudy" icons.  Same with wt-14 (night time mistiness) in the midst of wt-13 to 17 which appear to be for night time cloud levels.

And what does wt-11 represent?  It looks like a sponge.  :-P

Right now I'm just guessing what each icon represents.  I can't seem to find the weather codes on the website, unlike for Accuweather and Openweathermap.

If I have the key/index or weather codes, I can adapt other weather icons to work with your tad script without the guesswork.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

^ I found the weather icons on tad website.

I won't change them for now because they are different from the others.
If you want to get to know them better, use the table for the next 2 weeks (tooltip).

Just visit a few locations (winter/summer/day/night).

EDIT
You have 471 locations here:
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/?low=4

Duststorm  is  wt-11   * Probably wt-3 is similar.
Ice fog    is  wt-10
...

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

@marens, thanks for the very helpful link and the meaning of wt-10 and 11.

I was checking some locations last night, and the wt-14 icon (moon + mist) was used interchangeably for night time mist/fog conditions as well as "passing clouds".  I see no other moon + mist icon in the icon set.

On the other hand, I am guessing that wt-3 icon (sun + yellow tinged mist) is used solely for daytime cloudiness level because there is a very similar icon -- wt-9 (sun + white tinged mist) -- that is part of the wt-8 to 12 general mist/fog/dust section.

This is sufficient info for me to adapt icons.  Final little issue for me is whether any of the wt-8 to wt-12 icons are specifically used for night time mist/fog level as well.  But that's not so important, because I suspect t_a_d just uses the wt-14 icon interchangeably.

Here is my simple tad conky with the icons that came with TBG's Weather Underground script (RIP).

The wt-3 icon is for HAZE.

I don't know if you've seen this:

Also, you can see that sometimes the line under "High and Low:" is very long and I have divided it into three parts.

Noted on wt-3.

As for the High and Low thing, I simply use the " | cut " command for the text weather conditions, and made it into 2 lines.  I skip the first few characters where the date (and space) is. 

${goto 72}${color6}${execi 600 sed -n '1p'  $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | cut -c4-31}
${goto 72}${color6}${execi 600 sed -n '1p'  $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/date_and_phrase | cut -c32-59}

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

^ Yes, we've used that before.
The command fmt -w XX is better because it only prints whole words.

When you've tested your icons enough and set everything right, post them here:
https://workupload.com

Just compress the folder tad-icons2 as .tar.xz .

P.S.
I know it will take time, but there's no rush.

Re: Conky weather+moon scripts (Accuw/WUndergr/NWS/MoonGiant)

A attempt on wayland/wayfire with the accuweather-script

    Original

-I excluded the sun and moon, as well as the hourly edition.
-So far I haven't been able to put a dark background behind the conky window. Neither with lua-scripte nor with the 'home remedies' from conky.

the accuweather script I used and the conkyrc

I don't want my work to be found again on Github without asking me.

The link to the BL forum was never posted there.

EDIT
This is a public forum and nothing is hidden, but let them at least try to find it themselves.

Will do.  I've always liked the Weather Underground icons. 

I will have to tweak a few icons (or borrow from elsewhere) to make them fit the T_A_D weather codes, when I have the time.

It will not be easy or quick for you.

When I followed those 471 locations, I noticed that the wt-14 icon appeared somewhere as "Passing clouds" (night) and somewhere only as "Fog".
I'm sure there are many similar cases.
That's why it's good to have a text part of the weather forecast.

If it's too complicated, you can always go back to the official icons.
