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.

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

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.

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

^ Thanks for the feedback.
I'm glad everything is working well.

About the "hourly" subfolder?
That subfolder is not located in my  Accuweather_conky_script  and  marens_hourly  folders.

 

When you finish test-conky (icons, weatherfont), show us the screenshots.
I'm sure it looks great.

Enjoy.

....

I've no idea where that folder came from.  Maybe I had messed around with the accuw script in the past

....

It was nothing fancy or original.  I just modified the default 7-day conky config that came with TeoBigusGeekus' accuweather script to convert the bottom row of 4 days into hourly forecasts of the next 4 hours.

What fired this round of activity was that I had been digging through an old archive of TBG's accuw conky script, and noticed that there was a subfolder called "conkyconfig" that contained a whole bunch of weather icon themes that I had never seen before, all of which were 146x108 in size.  There were also 2 wind direction themes that were provided in a sub-subfolder called "vent".

I found a few weather icon themes that were pretty nice, though the resolution isn't the best.
[ADDED NOTE - a few of the weather themes may have one or two mis-numbered icons; you will need to check them before use]
 
So anyway I decided to tweak the default conky for these specific-proportioned icons, and play with the marens_hourly data at the same time. Seemed fine, so of course the next step was to check out the convert_icons script.  :-)

Weather theme = Droplets
Wind icons are modified from a wind dial graphic that I found in the windtheme called windicons1 in that "vent" sub-subfolder. It's really weird because the windicons1 wind theme does NOT use that wind dial at all (and it's a totally different style).

^"vent" is French and I think it introduced @loutch in the relevant configurations.

Re: Accuweather Conky Script

@asqwerth

Very nice screenshots.

I recognized @TBG's old conky.
It is a good idea to replace the last row with the hourly weather forecast.

The website no longer displays the Moon's duration, but rather its phase.
A few years ago, I created a script to calculate the duration of the Moon:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 83#p132483

Now it is possible to restore the old look.

In any case, great job with the 'new' icons.
Weatherfont also looks great, as always.
