## What it is
wego is a terminal-based weather client written in Go that displays weather forecasts for 1 to 7 days. It supports multiple weather data backends and output frontends including ASCII art tables, emoji, markdown, and JSON.

## Use cases
- check weather forecast from the terminal
- show weather in ascii art in my shell
- get a 7 day forecast for a city from the command line
- pipe weather data as json into other scripts
- display weather with emoji in a utf-8 terminal
- use a free keyless weather api from the cli

## When to choose
- you want weather forecasts directly in your terminal without a browser
- you need scriptable JSON weather output for pipelines or status bars
- you prefer a lightweight Go binary with configurable units, languages, and caching

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical weather app with maps or radar imagery
- you need severe weather alerts or historical weather data
- you cannot obtain an API key and your preferred backend is not keyless

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, caching, json, data-visualization
- domain: weather, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, go, cross-platform
- tags: weather-forecast, terminal-ui, ascii-art, openweathermap, open-meteo, weather-api-client, command-line, linux, macos
