Conky - Really Simple Weather Script

webmasteryoda · 2011-04-27 17:06:12

I did.
It stopped working...

Superewza · 2011-05-06 16:15:30

Right, just tried this, and it's slightly better than the previous weather solution i tried in that it displays nothing as opposed to something like "$WEATHER".

${font Helvetica:size=12}${color FFFFFF}${alignr}${execi 300 /home/buttons/bin/weather.sh EUR|UK|UK81|Newcastle} °C${font}

Any ideas?Thanks

Hello,
I just spent a good 15 minutes struggling to find my city code (Tijuana Mexico - "NAM|MX|MX002|TIJUANA")
Wanted to show how to get the code if you are going through the same.
just google

site:http://www.accuweather.com/world-forecast-calendar.asp YOURCITY

and the URL of one of the first results will give you the code
examples: EUR|FR|FR012|PARIS, EUR|UK|UK241|LONDON, NAM|MX|MX014|GUADALAJARA.. and so on
good luck

@retrodanny: Thanks but your method failed for me, but led me to the partner..netweather. Then I found their link which worked for me. You need to fill out the form for your location, it will generate an html snippet for a web page (no signup req'd). The location code is in the html snippet ASI|TW|TW018|HSINCHU in my case :-)

I am using crunchbang right now and conky won't show weather information using these scripts. Using accuweather.com doesn't show the location code like what is supposed to be shown. It shows: http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/grove- … ast/335120. How can I adapt this script to use that weather location?

Thanks kaikaizi, the script in your post_47 (which I saved as 3.weathers.sh) with the last line changed as per skunktrader's recommendation above in post_52, has put the icing on the cake!

Thanks to all concerned with this great thread it has refreshed my memory (its been years since last I used conky) & allowed me to grab bits & modify them from a number of conky scripts in this thread, all of which has given me the conky that I wanted all in one day...

Thanks for this, I was going NUTZ trying to find my location.
I'd like to add - go right through Step 1 to/and including Step 3 - grab the HTML code and back out... Unless you have a web page to put it on

And another note, if your city had a space in the name get rid of it:

  14:04:08 ~
         $ acc_w.sh
/home/sector11/bin/acc_w.sh: 21: [: SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOS: unexpected operator

  14:04:10 ~
         $ acc_w.sh
Hazy Sunshine: 30C
  14:04:27 ~
         $

Does not work:

LOCCOD="SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOS AIRES"

Works:

LOCCOD="SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOSAIRES"

even thought it's only 25.8° here at the moment.

Now to grab a newer copy of the code. »»» KUDOS to buttons «««

Did what "handy" did - works great. Hi handy!
Still no space in CITYNAME:

  14:58:48 ~
         $ acc_w_2.sh "SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOSAIRES"
WEATHER:
     Now: Hazy Sunshine, 32C
   Today: 21-36C Hot with increasing clouds 
Tomorrow: 19-37C Sunny and hot  
  14:58:51 ~
         $ acc_w_2.sh "SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOS AIRES"
/home/sector11/bin/acc_w_2.sh: line 3: [: SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOS: binary operator expected
WEATHER:
     Now: 
   Today: 
Tomorrow: 
  14:59:01 ~
         $

So I made an alias:

alias now='acc_w_2.sh "SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOSAIRES"'

Hi..
Well I had been trying these scripts and for my location it seem does not work...

#terminal
$ sh weather.sh "SAM|AR|AR007|BUENOSAIRES"
Clear: 17Ced
$ sh weather.sh "SAM|BO|BL002|COCHABAMBA" #my location
<nothing blank>
$
###

I was trying diferent locations and it works in Europa, and in some citys en Sud America

Any sugestion??

Tnks in advance.... btw sorry for my english

dcarrco · 2012-11-20 21:48:45

i tried to use this code and it didnt work. i changed it to this (which works on crunchbang 11) and called it with this linein .conkyrc:

${execi 1800 /home/dcarrco/bin/weather1.sh 32211}

# !/usr/bin/bash
METRIC=0 #Should be 0 or 1; 0 for F, 1 for C
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>"
exit 0;
fi

wget -q http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweat … ocCode\=$1 -O - | awk \
'/Currently:/ {CurWeather=$0}
/[0-9] Forecast<\/title>/ {nr=NR+3}
NR==nr {postIndx[++x]=$0}
# x>2 {exit}
END{
split(CurWeather,tmp,"Currently: ")
split(tmp[2],tmp1,"<")
CurWeather=sprintf("%s",tmp1[1])
sub(":",",",CurWeather)
for(x in postIndx){
split(postIndx[x],tmp,";|&")
split(tmp[1],tmp,">")
split(tmp[2],statement," F ") # substitute C for F if metric differs
split(tmp[2],temp)
forecast[++y]=sprintf("%d-%dF %-15s",temp[5],temp[2],statement[3])
}
printf("%s\n%s\n%s",CurWeather,forecast[1],forecast[2])
}'

I have noticed a lot of want for a weather program and many are working for various solutions including myself.

Well - I finally came up with a solution using only wunderground - conkywx

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142640

that is the thread - the package is in the AUR and it works - why not give it a run

screenshot

These are example templates.

cheers

For germans i've write an native c programm to fetch weather data from weather.tuxnet24.de.
But now it works only for german gmxx codes.

The programm is uploaded at github and works faster like scripts and intergate very well in conky.

features:
- small size
- fast execution time
- full output of available informations
- short output for using in conky
- format parsing like "date '%Y-%m-%D'"
- linking actual image for displaying in conky (only possible for now by installing images over make install)
- only libc is required
- opional Database support for fetching gmxx code from german cities

available under https://github.com/vatriani/weather-cli

Upcomming/planed features:
- fetching weatherstats for every country (needs an source) and parsing
- conky sample config (needs only to upload)
- more image sets

I hope you enjoy the programm.
The code is based on the idea of dietlibc so it needs no more dependencies of other frameworks.
But for now it compile with dietlibc but it don't run.

How to convert the state of the time for another language?

HOW I CAN DO the same for this code:

curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=CIXX0020&u=c"| sed -e '/C<BR\|Low/!d; s/<.*>//'

For example the output get

Mostly Cloudy, 11 C
Fri - Partly Cloudy. High: 24 Low: 8
Sat - Sunny. High: 27 Low: 11
Sun - Sunny. High: 30 Low: 12
Mon - Sunny. High: 28 Low: 11
Tue - Sunny. High: 26 Low: 9
