Conky weather scripts using Accuweather/WUnderground/NWS/Weather.com

TeoBigusDickus · 2012-04-20 13:36:25

Some scripts for displaying a weather forecast on your conky.
They use Accuweather, Weather Underground, National Weather Service (USA) and Weather.com.
They all rely on the same principle: download a bunch of pages, parse them and isolate the necessary info for conky to find.
There is something for everyone: from the minimalistic (1c), to the humongous, larger than life, "I'm a meteorologist" aspect (4).
Check out Conky Companion as well: a graphical app which can help you create your own conkyrc files easily.

>>>>>>>>>>Download the scripts.<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>Download conky companion.<<<<<<<<<<

1a)Accuweather - INTERNATIONAL USERS
If you find the script too heavy or too long, here's a version of it providing only half the info and using half the space.

1b)Accuweather - USA USERS

1c)Accuweather RSS - All users
Awesome suggestion by Sector11: see here.

1d1)Accuweather - Images - INTERNATIONAL USERS
Greek, French, Spanish, Hungarian and Portuguese versions included.
Check out Sector11's hybrid conkyrc displaying 2 international cities and 2 US ones: click.
From Sector11 again, an alternative, more compact conkyrc: clickety

1d2)Accuweather - ConkyWeather font - INTERNATIONAL USERS

1e)Accuweather - Images - USA USERS
Check out Sector11's hybrid conkyrc displaying 2 international cities and 2 US ones: click.
Again from Sector11, "2 US cities in under 800pixels (740 actually)": clicky

2)WUnderground ICAL - International users

3)NWS XML - USA users

4) Weather.com conky script - all users
USA conkyrc:

International (metric) conkyrc:

Less monstrous conkyrc by (whom else?) Sector11: see here

Conky companion for the 1d1 and 1e scripts
A graphical app (gtk+2.0) to help you create your own customised conkyrc from the info downloaded by the scripts.

It's not perfectly accurate, but it could save you some time when creating a complicated conkyrc.

It depends on gtk+2.0.

Is weather.com free again? They began to charge 19.90$ per month some time ago, I think.

You're referring to kaivalagi's script; mine takes info directly from the centre page of weather.com.
Unless they decide to go offline, the script will work forever...

Either that or they decide to change something about their site design.

In which case I'll just adjust the script...

Just tested the 1d2 script, accuweather with font , and it seems very nice! Have to do some tinkering with layout though, to adjust it to my 32" TV and fontsizes around 24 pixels. But that's just fun!

Also, I will try and set the timings for downloads and stuff. By the way, celsius and metrics worked rigth out of the box! Not too common for weather scripts.

Great work! Thanks!

Thank you very much mate.

Multiple cities, what a concept!

1. Two cities using: 1d1)Accuweather - Images - INTERNATIONAL USERS
2. Two cities using: 1e)Accuweather - Images - USA USERS
3. One conky

The beauty of Teo's scripts:

extremely lightweight on CPU resources
configuration: limited (by your imagination)
if there's a shell, Teo's weather is possible

Yea, "wget" doesn't care if you've signed up or not.

4) Weather.com conky script - all users

A new layout ... very busy

For as large as it is I'm not using all the information that the scripts can get. Pretty powerful ... and free too!

Spacing was a nightmare. Had to "hardcode" some results to get actual widths from a lot of commands.

Some examples
UV command split in two lines:

first line the value (-- or 1 to 11)
the second the text output. Low to Very High (the longest)

The sunrise sunset / moonrise moonset to insure the maximum output

M: 00:00-00:00 - the max vs
M: 0:00-0:00 - the minimum, with
M: 00:00-0:00 or
M: 0:00-00:00 being the most common of the 4 outputs

and the forecast temps were hardcoded for three characters, with the ° after the second temp:

-10 / 101°

if we get to 101°C we're in HOT trouble but 101°F is a consideration and lets hope we NEVER see -101 either in F or C we're all popsicles.

Moon phases are reduced in size to allow Waning Crescent or Waning Gibbous, longer than Full or New to fit.

1c)Accuweather RSS - All users

I'm back, this time with a full conky using Accuweather RSS - All users mind you it's configured for here & metric.

I call it: Hugs are hugs, and out of 3, this is a 5 Star HUG if I ever saw one!

The archive has everything you need (less the fonts) and works from: ~/lowph: lowph.tar.gz

~/lowph/lowph.conky <<-- this starts it!
~/lowph/ConkyWeather.ttf
~/lowph/.conkyrc_acc_rss

Sorry for what seems like a flood of posts, but if Teo is moving his weather thread here from the "Orange Side" and supporting it here, I'm bringing my support for his work here as well.

The scripts are powerful, and come with at least one working example. There are well laid out PDF files that explain everything you need, like:

1c_Output_of_the_script.pdf
1c_README.pdf

He has put a LOT of work into these scripts and they deserve to be seen, and appreciated.
So if you create a different layout, as part of a full conky or just a different weather layout, show it off. It might help others having problems.

Me - I know nothing about bash scripts, but I do know a good thing when I see it and I play with layouts.

Using the latest revision as of: 1 Apr 2012 - Thanks Teo.

2 US cities in under 800pixels (740 actually)

Uses three fonts:

Default font: WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono
(I did a "sudo apt-get install ttf-wqy-microhei" on my #! System {Debian})
Dumbledor 1 Cut Up, and
Dumbledor 1 Cut Down

General
WenQuanYi project was started by Qianqian Fang (Screen name: FangQ; Chinese: 房骞骞), a Chinese biomedical imaging researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital, in October, 2004.[1][2][3]
Now the fonts of WenQuanYi project are included with of Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, Magic Linux and CDLinux. Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva, ArchLinux and Frugalware offer the sources for WenQuanYi fonts.[4] The fonts are among the Chinese fonts officially supported by Wikimedia.[5]
WenQuanYi's website is using Habitat, a Wiki software derived from UseModWiki by Qianqian Fang. It is allowed to create or modify the glyphs online.

So you have it.

Dumbledor 1 Cut Up is used for "Now temp" and "FL temp" if FL is equal to or higher than the "Now temp" and if higher it will also turn red.
Dumbledor 1 Cut Down is used for FL temp when it is cooler than the Now Temp and it will be blue.

Other than that everything is out of the box with some 'slight' changes in the directory structure and calling of the same.

Obviously the two files:

$HOME/AccuUSAI/Austin/acc_usa_images
$HOME/AccuUSAI/Driggs/acc_usa_images

will also need to be edited according to Teo's instructions and make sure you get the sub-directory so the files created stay with the proper city.

ie:
$HOME/AccuUSAI/Driggs/
$HOME/AccuUSAI/Austin/

One final thing - don't use the ${tztime} command if displaying your location, use the normal command

ie:

${tztime US/Mountain %m/%d/%y - %H:%M}

would be:

${time %m/%d/%y - %H:%M}

Have fun.

@Sector11:
Welcome home brother; thanks again for your kind words and support (for the millionth time).

I've added references to your posts at the first one. Is there a way to link to a post in this forum?

1d1)Accuweather - Images - INTERNATIONAL USERS

Scheech!!!! No sooner get it finish and someone decides to redo my wallpaper
And wouldn't you know it, there's someone adjusting a rain cloud already!

Everything is right out of the box except for one little fix: if you want the time fetched you need to follow these instructions:

TeoBigusDickus wrote:

Open the script and add this

date +%T > /path/to/the/script/folder/time_updated

before the last kill command.
Open conkyrc and change this line

${font Arial:size=12}${color ffe595}WEATHER ${font}${hr 2}$color${texeci 500 bash /home/teo/Accuweather_Conky_Int_Images/acc_int_images}

to

${texeci 500 bash /home/teo/Accuweather_Conky_Int_Images/acc_int_images}${font Arial:size=12}${color ffe595}WEATHER - Updated at ${execpi 500 sed -n '1p' /home/teo/Accuweather_Conky_Int_Images/time_updated}${font}${hr 2}$color

Replace the /home/teo/, etc with the script's path.

Other than that ... the conky (change the paths to your setup):

Hi, your weather conkys look great and the minimal one (1c) looks as if I could squeeze it into the bottom of my modified conky orange (thanks to GNOME-LOOK user hardball), which I've "Minted".

I'm pretty sure I've followed your instructions re folder and file placement and location key finding etc (really simple and easy to understand by the way!) but when I run conky (from terminal) I get:

Conky: forked to background, pid is 6083
kathy@kathy-TravelMate-3260 ~ $
Conky: desktop window (e01c27) is subwindow of root window (ac)
Conky: window type - normal
Conky: drawing to created window (0x2400001)
Conky: drawing to double buffer

I'm sure I'm missing something basic!
my $/home/kathy/Accuweather_RSS/weather exists but is still blank.

I would post a screen shot but I don't know how to do it - I'll find that out - meanwhile, any clues? I'm pretty sure I haven't inadvertently changed anything yet conky only writes KASTORIA WEATHER _______________. I also doubled my text_buffer_size to 4096 just in case.

Reason for edit: poor grammar!

I feel bad, and very red faced. I was sure I had it, but Teo's is right, it will not work. I got it to work in my local website, but that doesn't help - it's not an RSS feed.

There has to be a place closer to you than London that you can use. Wicked, Gloucester isn't some small out of the way village it really 'should' work.

Maybe weather·com, that should work.

http://www.weather.com/weather/5-day/Gloucester+United+Kingdom+UKXX0062

EDIT: It does, but it hauls down a LOT more info than you want.

Here's Gloucester's forecast with it:
