wttr.in is a console‑oriented weather forecast service that returns weather data via HTTP in plain‑text, HTML, PNG and other formats. It can be queried with curl, browsers or other HTTP clients and also provides a simple CLI interface.

Use cases

• Get the current weather for a city from the command line using curl
• Display a weather forecast in a terminal with ANSI art
• Fetch weather data programmatically via HTTP for integration into scripts
• View a graphical PNG weather report in a web browser
• Retrieve weather information for an airport using its IATA code

When to choose

• You need a lightweight, no‑API‑key weather service that works directly from the terminal
• You prefer a simple HTTP endpoint that returns human‑readable weather data
• You want a self‑hosted solution that can be run on a minimal Go environment

When to avoid

• You require high‑frequency, commercial‑grade weather data with guaranteed SLA
• You need advanced meteorological data formats (e.g., GRIB, NetCDF) or detailed forecasts
• You want a fully featured UI application rather than a text‑based interface
