Re: Accuweather Conky Script

Hot air from Africa has been flowing over southern Europe for a long time.
The worst is currently in Spain and France.

AccuWeather developers have added the Heat index.
That's nice, but the  curr-cond   file no longer works properly:

Open the  accuweather   script and replace the line:

              sed -i -e 's/.*weathericons\///' -e 's/^.*>//g' -e 's/°.*$//g' -e '/RealFeel®/d' -e '/RealFeel Shade™/,+1d' -e '/RealFeel Shade/,+1d' -e '/Indoor Humidity/,+1d' -e '/^$/d' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond_temp

with:

              sed -i -e 's/.*weathericons\///' -e 's/^.*>//g' -e 's/°.*$//g' -e '/RealFeel®/d' -e '/RealFeel Shade™/,+1d' -e '/RealFeel Shade/,+1d' -e '/Indoor Humidity/,+1d' -e '/^$/d' -e '/Heat Index/,+1d' $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/curr_cond_temp

 

As you can see from the screenshots, 'beautiful' days with lots of sunshine are expected here. 

Note *
Please don't wait for the Heat Index to appear for your location, but update your  accuweather   script now.

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

This is becoming really frustrating.

It happened again.
This time they changed the Request Headers.

I don't know who's crazier here.
Either it's the AccuWeather developers or me, because I fixed the script again?

People, it's summer — go somewhere and relax.

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

Thanks, marens, although I note that the script is also showing the wrong info for other current weather items, eg wind direction icon (I get a weather condition icon), wind speed (I get "max UV" or other UV info), humidity, pressure. 

The weather condition/forecast icons/text, temperatures, are working.

No worries if you don't feel like doing more patching though.  I was not going to mention anything, except that you just posted some fixes.  :-)

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

#### Marens Hourly

As you know, I don't use the hourly forecast with the accuweather script.
However, as the author, I sometimes check whether it works.

I have an error in the terminal today:

$ bash $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/accuweather -h2015
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

cp: cannot stat '/home/marens/Accuweather_conky_script/Forecast_Images_2015/<p.png': No such file or directory

I found the reason.
A 'Yellow Warning for Wind' appears for my location (for the next few hours).
The error has been fixed and the  #Wind   section now looks like this:

#Wind
        cat $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/hourly | grep 'Wind<' | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | sed 's/<p>Wind<span class="value">//g' | sed 's/<\/span><\/p>//g' | sed '/<p/d' > $HOME/Accuweather_conky_script/marens_hourly/wind

Note *
Please do not wait for an error to appear for your location; update your accuweather script immediately.

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

@marens
Coincidentally, for the first time ever, I decided to incorporate the "marens_hourly" hourly elements into a test conky just 2 days ago. 

It didn't work until I realised I had to delete an old "hourly" subfolder because the script was trying to create an "hourly" text file and the existence of that subfolder prevented that.

Also tested your "convert icons" script for the weatherfont hourly data.

All working fine.
