[Wego](https://github.com/schachmat/wego) is a pretty cool weather client for the terminal.

You also need [termux-api](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api) and the `jq` package.

Now you can run the following command to display the weather report for your current location.

```
loc=$(termux-location -p network)&&wego "$(echo $loc | jq .latitude),$(echo $loc | jq .longitude)"
```

### Wego on termux

For wego to work you must set the WEGORC environment variable. You probably want to do this in your shells startup script.

```
export WEGORC=$HOME/.wegorc
```

Otherwise it installs just fine if you follow the instructions.

### Wttr.in

If you don't want to go through the hassle of installing wego, you can just use [wttr.in](https://wttr.in) instead. [Wttr.in](https://wttr.in) is an implementation of wego that can be called with just `curl wttr.in` to get the current weather. If you don't want to rely on IP Geo location you can also use the same script for [wttr.in](https://wttr.in) instead of wego.

```
loc=$(termux-location -p network)&&curl wttr.in/$(echo $loc | jq .latitude),$(echo $loc | jq .longitude)
```
