## What it is
AnsiWeather is a Shell script that displays current weather conditions and forecasts in the terminal using ANSI colors and Unicode symbols, fetching data from the OpenWeatherMap API. It is configurable via command-line flags and config files, with packages available for many Unix-like systems.

## Use cases
- check current weather from the terminal
- show a multi-day weather forecast in the shell
- display weather with ANSI colors and unicode icons
- add weather to a terminal dashboard or tmux status bar
- get weather for a specific city with metric or imperial units
- script weather lookups using curl and jq

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-minimal terminal weather tool
- you live in the terminal and prefer CLI over GUI weather apps
- you need a scriptable weather command for shell prompts or status bars
- you want a tool packaged across BSD, Linux, and macOS

## When to avoid
- you need rich graphical weather maps or radar imagery
- you want severe weather alerts or hyperlocal radar data
- you need a weather API client library rather than a display tool
- you cannot install jq and bc dependencies
