display current weather in your BASH terminal. Uses zip-code to determine current area. Might need to install 'lynx' console browser. ... sudo apt-get install lynx

bash weather command

# BASH function
function weather() {
    if [ "${1}" = "" ] ; then
        # echo "Usage: weather 90210"
  	    lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=90210" | grep -A13 'Latest Observation'
    else
  	    lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=${1}" | grep -A13 'Latest Observation'
    fi
}

# BASH single-line command:
lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=[YOUR_ZIP_CODE_HERE]" | grep -A13 'Latest Observation'

bash weather week command

# BASH function
function weatherweek()
{
    # show weather for the week per zipcode
	if [ "${1}" = "" ] ; then
		# echo "Usage: weatherweek [Your ZipCode]"
		lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=90210" | grep -A30 'Forecast Summary'
	else
		lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=${1}" | grep -A30 'Forecast Summary'
	fi
}

# BASH single-line command
lynx -dump -nonumbers -width=160 "http://weather.unisys.com/forecast.php?Name=[YOUR_ZIPCODE_HERE]" | grep -A30 'Forecast Summary'

This is part of a series of old-school BASH commands that I picked up a long time ago. The problem was none of those commands worked. The server they connected to had been moved, or changed the format of their pages. So I re-wrote a couple of my favorites, and saved them here for anyone to use. As of today, all of these commands work.
