So i can use your wind script to have wind_0.png and my translation script in conky file .

Look at your file "now".
You already have that in line 10.

Yes in english for your wind rose & in nowfr for my conky

Yes.

Use different images of the wind rose.
It looks very nice, but I would use larger images in the daily/hourly section and maybe a smaller font.

I think the tad script is finally finished.

However, I know from experience that web developers sometimes adapt the code and display content differently in some countries.

Unfortunately, this is true in our case.
Everyone who contributed to the testing had local changes.

Anyway, it was fun.
Thank you all once again.

Hello

@ marens

Conky work fine ,wind_0.png & french wind direction are good.

^ Excellent work.

Your wind rose is great.
@unklar sometimes uses something like this in his conkys:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 31#p128131

It remains to test the image wind_0 when there is no wind (calm).
I based that part of the tad script on @sleekmason's 'now' file:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 56#p146356

Anyway, it's easily solvable if the output here is different.

But first it has to happen.
It's always windy here.

Conky tad script

How to check the appearance of the new conky if you change the source?

If you're lazy like me tonight, take the old conky and just replace the icons (images).
Now I can copy conky's TEXT and replace everything else later (when I'm not lazy).

Conky tad script

There is no wind here right now.
Small corrections needed as I expected.

First in the #### NOW section of the tad script:

Replace:

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep '<span title="High and low forecasted temperature today">Forecast:' | awk -F'&nbsp;°C</span><br>' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1, $2, $3}' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/now

With:

cat $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/weather_raw | grep '<span title="High and low forecasted temperature today">Forecast:' | awk -F'&nbsp;°C</span><br>' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1, $2, $3}' | sed 's/<\/p><\/div><div//' >> $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/now

Then replace the ## Wind Direction section with:

## Wind Direction
wd=$(sed -n '10p' $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/now | sed 's/from //' | sed 's/North/N/g' | sed 's/north/N/g' |  sed 's/South/S/g' | sed 's/south/S/g' |  sed 's/East/E/g' | sed 's/east/E/g' | sed 's/West/W/g' | sed 's/west/W/g' | sed 's/-//' | sed 's/$/.png/')

  if [[ "$wd" == ".png" ]]; then
  
      cp $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/wind/CLM.png $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/wind_0.png

        else
    
           cp $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/wind/$wd $HOME/time_and_date_conky_script/wind_0.png
      
  fi

Done.

I don't know if you noticed that my plugin creates a visibility file in the Moongiant folder.
I always show when the Moon is 'Under Horizon' like in the screenshot above.

^ I continued testing tad-conky and compared the results with the website.
Although the daily forecast showed today's date (as the starting date) all day, tonight it was moved to tomorrow.

The code above has been updated to match the data on the website.

EDIT
It just so happens that there is no wind at the moment and tad-conky is improved again.

Hello marens
Fork of Accuweather_conky_script.
Beta version of Accuweather_conky_script.
2 versions of data storage and processing:
1) curr_cond, daily_forecast, hourly
2) n_forecast..., d_forecast...., h_forecast.... in the data_w directory
one parameter - one file
The script was divided into functional blocks
See my google disk

marens · 2025-11-09 18:18:20

^ I'm glad you're here again, @il.harun.

Maybe you didn't follow, but like you, I discontinued support for Accuweather_conky_script a long time ago.
My latest updates still work, and for those who use hourly forecast, I made my own version that also works (for now).

Anyway, you and I can be proud of our contributions here since @TBG left (about 45 months ago).

I'm not sure if I still have that link.

EDIT
I can confirm.

On the backup partition, I have two of your folders with many conkys, but I don't have a saved link:
Accuweather_conky_script_16_04_2022
Accuweather_conky_script_ 15.05.2022

I won't ask you to repost it because I know you don't want it available to everyone.

Thanks @il.harun.

@loutch

I think the best solution for the day and date has been found.
Just add this to the end of the tad script and check the date file:

Haven't visited this site in quite a long time. Any updates to the accuweather script since June 2023? If so, can I get a link. I tried to search for it, but was not very successful, and there are so many posts since June 2023.

seatommyboy · 2025-11-13 10:48:09

accuweather script stopped working this morning. Isn't pulling any weather data.
Disregard, it randomly started working again after I opened accuweather in a browser.

@marens
thanks for this new tad script.

Is there a way to pull in the forecast (not current condition) for the current day? I tried adding

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

to the tad script, but today's forecast was not generated in date_and_phrase file. I believe that's because it's not in "Forecast for next 2 weeks" (view historical weather) table.

I see today's forecast (or what's left of the day) in the "Forecast for the next 48 hours" table on the same webpage, just above the Forecast for next 2 weeks table , but I have no idea how to go about pulling that information into a file.

When you say the code has been updated, are you referring to your tad-conky, or the tad script?

With regard to the forecast for the current day, I was referring to this bit on the website:

Yes, I have noticed that even though it's still Mon night here, it is now showing as early Tues in the table (it didn't do so earlier this evening). But I don't think the info for the current day forecast in this 48 hours table comes from the historical weather table, since even earlier this evening, that only started from Tuesday 18th Nov. Nothing was showing in the 17th Nov cell.

My hope is to be able to add the current day forecast into this conky:

In the tad-conky.

This is the best way:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 33#p146933

During the day, data for "TODAY" will be displayed, and in the evening hours, it will be switched to "TOMORROW".

You will probably get local names for the days in the "date" file, but everything is aligned with the table (next 2 weeks).
