@Teo,
how do I know that he takes the right lichtenstein (from three in GE)?

If I may.

wttr.in gets your location from your ISP. This is why you really do not need to include a city if you want your city.

 01 Nov 16 @ 12:14:31 ~
  $ curl wttr.in
Weather for City: Buenos Aires, Argentina

      .-.      Rain With Thunderstorm
     (   ).    15 °C          
    (___(__)   ← 0 km/h       
   ‚‘⚡‘‚⚡‚‘    6 km           
   ‚’‚’⚡’‚’    2.3 mm

More Information:

1. do not use spaces in names; use an underscore ( _ ) or "quote quote"
- ie: a slight difference

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:35:17 ~
  $ wttr rio de janeiro
Weather for City: Rio, Greece

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:35:49 ~
  $ wttr rio_de_janeiro
Weather for City: Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

2. add a country or province/state:

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:40:00 ~
  $ wttr london
Weather for City: London, United Kingdom

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:40:47 ~
  $ wttr London_canada
Weather for City: London, Canada

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:40:47 ~
  $ wttr London_ontario
Weather for City: London, Canada

How well that will work for you I don't know. I get the exactly the same for two lichtenstein cities in Germany, and than: Vaduz, Liechtenstein

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:52:01 ~
  $ wttr Lichtenstein_Saxony
Weather for City: Lichtenstein, Germany

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:53:48 ~
  $ wttr Lichtenstein_Baden-Württemberg
Weather for City: Lichtenstein, Germany

 01 Nov 16 @ 11:55:02 ~
  $ wttr Lichtenstein
Weather for City: Vaduz, Liechtenstein

You can use airport codes as well ... someone posted this handy bash script here (or at #! - my forgetter). I call it: wttr I should have added the name of the person that posted it.
EDIT: Found the original bash script/author and added some help.

Hi @Sector11,

thankyou for the explanation. I always came to Vaduz, (so much "coal" for the rich principality I did not ]:D ) because I did not know the trick with the underline.

Perfect and, thanks to Teo. comparison -> conky -> wttr-sript

PS: Now I see the script, wow, very good! O:)

Sector11 · 2016-11-01 18:34:31

I love how Teo's one 'bash king-foo' line put that whole thing into a conky.

Wish I knew what he knows. Anyway, I get to 'use' what he knows and that's good enough for me.

What really really simple thing am I missing?

Same thing I'm missing I guess. I've no idea why this happens; could be a conky variable that needs to be declared? Who knows...

@Teo - I don't think that the end results looks great, your scripts look way much better.
The command line weather uses the api from https://www.worldweatheronline.com/ , and their git (for CLI weather) is here https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in, so my logic was if you can use some of their work in order to have a conkyweather similar to the python script https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869328
This is just an idea so feel free to disregard it if it's not feasible.
In the meantime your scripts are working great.

Relax mate and thanks for your kind words.
I don't know python. I could learn I guess, but I won't; I am more of a C guy.
If I ever did something with your suggestion, that'd be to create a script straight from https://www.worldweatheronline.com/.
Maybe in the future...

I don't know about that one, it gives me weather for Athens, Greece, which is 500km from where I live.

The regular expression could never work with sed, even with the -r parameter, only perl could do it.
Thanks to reddit user Fallenalien22 for the inspiration.

...but I think I'll stick to sed, thank you very much

Oh well, then I don't feel so bad. At least I got a great font out of it. Where did you ever find that font?

Can't remember, I tried all my monospace fonts one by one until this one produced all the wind directions.
I had it forgotten in my .fonts folder, never actually used it.
I prefer Consolas, Fantasque Mono or Ubuntu Mono.

Abducted!!! Damn aliens! Or was it nieces or nephews or ..{cough cough}... work!
So you should be in Athens but you are getting use to Kastoria.

Yea, you already got me onto Fantasque Mono, love it. Consolas is a mono font? ... How about that, if I knew that, I forgot it.
I have way too many fonts and way too many mono fonts**. All come by way of; a) installed with Linux or b) conky.

===
** image: my mono fonts

EDIT:

I quite like this Fira Mono, I'm trying it out in my terminal and it's a clean font I can clearly at a smaller size. But maybe that's just me.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2016-11-02 18:35:59

It saddens me to say it, but I use Microsoft fonts on my system: Tahoma for normal font and Consolas for monospace.
I find them the most eye pleasing among many competitors.

Sector11 · 2016-11-02 19:06:48

Well I have the fonts installed from ttf-mscorefonts-installer, but only because I have backed up ~/.fonts over the years and they were there - same thing as the ubuntu fonts, those show up in a lot of conkys sooooooooooooooo .....

Tahoma I don't have - I recall having it once, but I do have Consolas.

So we be 'saddened' together.

TeoBigusGeekus · 2016-11-02 21:25:08

That 10/Lo thing in the 1_Accuweather script kept annoying me after S11 mentioned it and I did something for it:

if [[ $(sed -n 4p $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days) == Lo ]]; then
			line_3=$(sed -n 3p $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days)
			sed -i -e '3s/^.*$/N\/A/' -e "4s/^.*$/$line_3/" $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days
		fi

Add these lines at the end of the #First 5 days' section, just before the last fi.

With this addition, instead of 2/Lo, the output will be N/A / 2:

Better or worse? Is it worth an update?

Better make it

if [[ $(sed -n 4p $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days) == Lo ]]; then
			line_3=$(sed -n 3p $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days)
			sed -i -e '3s/^.*$/-/' -e "4s/^.*$/$line_3/" $HOME/1_accuweather/first_days
		fi

-/2 is better looking than N/A/2

OK, where do you get the " - " in all that? But yea that is better than N/A.

Why not:

thedayhasendedchecknighttemp

naaaaaaaa that would never fit.

But seriously why not, if you can, make is a variable in the script ( ##Default = - ) that people can use what they want, oh and have a way to leave it blank.

I quite like my blank space:

It was an OOPS, sorry. Look at my edited post.

As for the variable, we'll see tomorrow.

Goodnight S11.

G'night Teo ... will try that after dinner.

We're both a few tomorrows short ... :8

Anyway I started playing again ... been interrupted a few times but here's the layout:

TeoBigusGeekus · 2016-11-08 18:37:10

Totally abandoned the idea of changing the 10/Lo thingy after the non-existent response it provoked.
I'll just leave it as it is.

I find this statement sympathetic.

Sector11 · 2016-11-08 19:11:50

Hey - if it works; don't fix it - if no one complains; don't change it.

... and then - along comes Sector11 who just has to tweak the hell out of everything conky related.

New one coming along quite nice:

@ unklar - I'm at it again!
