-WHY?
-
-My girlfriend had a long commute to/from work and school, and
-often wanted to check the weather both for home and her office.
-Unfortunately, starting a Web browser, pulling up a weather site,
-entering multiple ZIP codes and waiting for them to load is
-time-consuming for the marginally-impatient. Since she tended to
-stay logged into a shell server most of the time, I figured I'd
-install a quick command-line tool to retrieve weather info for
-her commute, but to my surprise, a quick search turned up little
-that met my basic requirements:
-
- * retrieve current data on-demand
- * provide both current conditions and short-term forecasts
- * simple, human-readable output
- * easy to configure and use
- * flexible command-line switches and options
-
-
-WHERE?
-
-A tarball for the most recent version of the weather utility can
-be had here:
-
- http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/src/
-
-Alternatively, Debian users can install the weather-util package
-from any mirror.
